Search with Bing
lanux128:
it seems to be the season for new search engines, this time from Microsoft. Bing looks quite fresh and does quite a good impression of a search engine. there are general and local search plus images and news, maybe an alternative to the almighty Google? more importantly, is anyone from DoCo using it yet?

P.S. i did a search but couldn't find any topics on this offering by Microsoft. :)
nudone:
the image search results look fancy. other than that i don't understand why anyone would use it.

I'm finding it quite useful for related information, so if I'm not looking for a certain site but looking for information on a subject. In that case the layout is a little better.
However in high contrast mode the front page just looks weird. Lots of boxes with nothing in them.

There is a brief review on Gizmo's Freeware site:

Howdy,
I've read some pretty good reviews of bing so far... So I tried it, and I must say I'm quite impressed with what they've done! To benefit of all new features you need to set your locale to US, hopefully international markets will get the same features soon.
I'm quite happy to find a serious competitor to google! Time for a change?
Cheers /jerome
