Bing is now offering “Instant Search”.\u00a0Picasso once said that “good artists imitate, but great artists steal”. \u00a0Apparently in the corporate world: good companies imitate, but great companies steal.<\/p>\n
Microsoft who has\u00a0unsuccessfully\u00a0tried to imitate everything from iPod \u00a0(Zune) to iPhone (Kin, Kin2, Windows 7 Phone), \u00a0has now decided to take a different tack. \u00a0Microsoft’s johnny-come-lately search engine, Bing, \u00a0now has a feature strikingly similar to Google’s “instant results”.<\/p>\n
Microsoft<\/a> is boosting its Bing system with a similar “instant results<\/a>” feature to Google<\/a>‘s, bringing a pseudo-real time feel to search that aims to speed up the process significantly.<\/p>\n Google introduced “instant” search feedback recently to increase the speed and efficiency of search–the system pops up a suggested list of search query matches as you’re actually typing, just in case the results meet your needs before you go through the tedious business of typing out a complete search string. Now Microsoft, which is busy expanding Bing’s search engine into a very serious rival for Google, is trying something very similar.<\/p>\n New Bing will include the instant search feature, smoother animations, better interaction with search history, pop-over windows to make in-site navigation easier, and moving photos and slideshows for certain types of search query results–these last give you more info about a search query finding directly inside Bing, meaning it’s simpler to determine if the match actually satisfies your needs without requiring you to surf there directly.
