Bing: News
Bing or Microsoft Bing is a search engine owned and operated by software giant Microsoft. It is available in over 40 languages and was launched in June 2009. Just like Google search, Bing provides a variety of search services including web results, video results, image results, and map search results. Bing was designed to replace Microsoft's Live Search. At the time of its launch, notable new features in the search engine included listing search suggestions dynamically as the query was being entered, and a list of related searches known as "Explore pane". Microsoft and Yahoo announced a partnership in which Bing would power Yahoo! Search. Yahoo! transitioned completely by 2012. Interestingly, and 2016, Microsoft declared various components of the Bing search engine as open source. This included the BitFunnel search engine indexing algorithm. Thanks to Google's monopoly, as of August 2021, Bing is the world's third most popular search engine behind Google that answers 77%, and Baidu that answers approximately 15% of search query traffic.
