Microsoft continues to improve its Bing search engine
If we lived in the United States and performed a search on Bing we could enjoy the more elaborate responses that the search engine is capable of producing. Part of them are reflected in the cards or snapshots on the side of the screen, where information related to our search obtained from various sources is shown directly.
These information cards are displayed when you search for certain terms, such as names of people, places, or things. Bing uses its own repository of knowledge, called Satori, to find relationships between the information collected by the search engine.The functionality is news because Microsoft has updated it by adding a bunch of new elements
Since last week, thanks to the information cards, on the side of the results page we can do things like:
- Discover TED Talks conducted by the person we are looking for.
- Listen to historical speeches or hymns from different countries.
- Find online courses conducted by universities.
- Check the ranking and more information about a university.
- View information related to different scientific concepts.
- Get a quick look at historical events.
- Discover why certain people are related to a site.
- Refer to subspecies when searching for an animal.
- Get information about software and safe links to download it from.
Bing has also added the direct response to a search on the same results page. In this way, if when searching we write a specific question that the search engine is capable of understanding, it will show us the specific answer in a horizontal bar at the beginning of the page.
The problem, as always, lies in the geographically limited availability of all these novelties. Microsoft has yet to roll out information cards and other Bing elements outside of the US borders, so those who want to enjoy them will need to change the region and language in their browser settings.
