You can get a sneak preview of our new search experience Bing, simply by selecting the United States as your default country.
Bing gives you all the components of a great search engine - relevant search results,, a big index and speed. Bing also organizes popular results in a unique way, designed to help you get the answers you’re looking for without having to guess the right search term.
Most search engines can provide basic results, but with Bing we’ve improved many aspects of the search experience.
- A new home page. Bing home page includes a beautiful daily image, information hotspots embedded in that image, and clear links for starting your searches for video, news, shopping, travel, images or maps.
- Autosuggest. Bing examines what you are typing in the search box and will automatically suggest similar terms or common refinements related to the term you are typing.
- Best Match. The Bing Best Match feature is designed to make finding relevant information easier by cutting down the number of clicks and getting you to your final destination faster. Best Match results include customer service numbers for retail sites, the ability to track a package right from the search page, deep links to common pages within the site and much more.

- Document Preview. Nearly one-quarter of searches result in rapid click back, when you realize that the search result was not what you were looking for. Document Preview lets you hover over a search result to see a preview of the site’s content, which helps you determine whether the site is likely to contain the information you’re looking for — before you click.

- Instant Answers. Bing provides Instant Answers that immediately return highly relevant direct answers in response to a specific search. For example, entering a flight number will return the most recent flight information and display it prominently in the results.

Bing analyzes search results for certain types of search terms and organizes them so they’re easy for you to navigate. These features include Explore Pane, Quick Tabs, Related Searches, Session History etc.
Unlike many competitors’ sites, the Infinite Scroll feature in Bing eliminates pagination of image search results, so you don’t have to wait for the next page to load.
