This week Microsoft is busy adding and changing features in their new search engine, Bing. Notable additions and changes are:
- Integration with the Wolfram Alpha Computational Engine. Wolfram Alpha garnered major hype as a potentially new form of search. Wolfram Alpha actually doesn’t search the web, but instead computes results based on your inputs.
- New features infused into Bing Maps.
- MSN Video transformed into Bing Video.
- Enhanced hover preview and full-page weather and event results. Hovering over any search result now includes a snapshot of the website in question, the most-clicked links of that website, the ability to search within that specific site, and longer text snippets. All of this gives you information before you even click.
- Weather results are now enhanced with a wide array of weather forecasts and details.
