Microsoft Bing
Microsoft's web search engine that uses AI to help find information, webpages, images, videos and maps.
What is Microsoft Bing?
Bing is Microsoft's search engine, reached at bing.com. Its description says it uses AI to help you find information and explore webpages, images, videos, maps and more. In practice you type a query into the search box and get result pages organized by type, so you can switch between general web results, pictures, video and map listings. The homepage shows only a search interface and a sign-in link, so it gives no detail about which AI features are available or how they work. People use it as an everyday alternative to other search engines for looking things up, checking facts and browsing media. Signing in with a Microsoft account is available, and what an account adds depends on current settings. Check the official site for the features available in your region.
