Spectacular music search results on Bing

Bing's struggle to catch up and surpass its main competitor Google, goes back a long way and is delivering spectacular results to us users. Even to those of us who don't live in the United States of America, which is where the search tool reaches its full potential.

Today they announced another set of improvements to the way results are displayed, focused on video search.

Content Rich Results

This way when we obtain the videos related to a character or artist, it will not only appear the list of what was found, but it will be shown as a carousel of thumbnailswhere, placing the mouse over it, we will be able to observe a forecast of small clips of a few seconds to get an idea of ​​what each one contains.

If we click on a selected video, the screen is configured in viewing mode where playback is performed at the top, with the artist's data, name of the piece and other information in the footer and with a carousel of related videos at the bottom of the screen.

An interesting effect is that if we are enjoying the video without moving the mouse for a while, the whole background darkens to improve the vision of the part.

Finally, by clicking on the X on the upper right of the window, we will close it and return to the mosaic of video results.

Even better in Metro

But the format, richness and depth of the results of a group or artists is much greater if we use Bing's technology to search from the Metro interface .

Here we not only access the group, its main songs, its albums, its videos, the main related websites and all the other information that it retrieves. If not that integrates with the Xbox music player for Metro, with Internet Explorer and with the Windows store

Organizing, from a simple search, a complete panel of all the written, graphic and multimedia material related to the group that I like. And accessing more and more pages related to the members of the group, their albums, their single songs, awards, news, etc.

It may be that in Europe Google is still the king for the accuracy of its results, but Bing with these updates has also become a useful tool, each more and more interesting.
