Bing Image Search Gets A Refresh

Earlier this morning, we talked about how Bing has predicted that Scotland will remain as part of the U.K. after the referendum is over. Well, while you are waiting for the results to be announced, perhaps you might want to make use of Bing and look up some photos and images of William Wallace and Scottish castles. You would have noticed then that Microsoft has introduced a refresh for Bing’s image search, where Microsoft figures out how queries are entered, in addition to the number of images viewed, as well as knowing how far down you would scroll – and are filters in place? All of those information has been consolidated to make the search experience an easier one.

Hence, you would end up with results that offer high quality images – not to mention being relevant to your search phrases. In addition, there will be suggestions and alternate content, helping you to visually refine, explore and change topics.

The introduction of Actions, being a set of features intend to help you to take action, just like its namesake suggests. This will include filters which would allow you to further refine a result set as you sort by source or size. There will also be image matching, and the entire new experience is said to be visually rich and adapts itself depending on the query, resolution and interaction. [Press Release]
