Bing search engine launches

Microsoft’s new search engine, Bing, was created to not only provide search results, but also empower users to gain and use knowledge from the web.

Described as a “decision engine,” the service featured a left-hand navigation menu, search results organized into categories, lists of related searches and a hover feature that let users preview webpages before visiting them. A successor to Microsoft’s Live Search, Bing was designed to provide more intelligent and relevant search results more quickly.
