I've been mainly using Bing engine for the past 3 months and this is my review
I've been mainly using Bing search engine in the last 3 months. this is my honest opinion. I enjoy Bing more than Google because Bing has a better layout, Bing has so much more features, like when I want to reverse image search, It shows me the name of the person in the picture or in cases where there is a text in the picture, it uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to let me copy the text from the pic and automatically search for it. Bing also gives me lots of categories in image searches. I did a side by side comparison of a subject just yesterday. in Google there was no categories to suggest but Bing suggested lots of categories at top, they were so specific that I was surprised how far it went. Bing has Microsoft Rewards and what it means is that you get points when you do normal searches, you don't need to go to Bing Rewards dashboard to do any additional tasks, but if you want you can and get even more points. These points accumulate and once they reach a certain amount, you can redeem them for a wide range of prizes. I usually redeem them monthly to get free Xbox game pass which I can use to play all news AAA games on PC and Xbox. so basically I always and forever have free game subscription. Bing is integrated into Cortana on Windows 10 which means I don't have to open a browser to type anything, I simply press Windows key and start typing and it shows me search results, when I click on a result, it opens it on the new Edge browser which is my default browser and it's also better than Google Chrome for a long list or reasons. (de-googled browser, Tracking Prevention, Collections, Reading view and all of its features, Read Aloud with custom natural voice etc etc..). Bing also gives me peace of mind knowing that my data and privacy is being handled by a company that revolves around providing services and not data mining. Bing search results, the default search, is also very relevant. at first I used to open a Google search and compared both results for a specific keyword because I was skeptical that I might be missing some results but nope, I was getting exactly the same relevant results. Bing also has rich snippets appearing in searches, like when I search for a specific subject, it tells me that hey you also searched about this related subject yesterday and many other little info. Bing's privacy dashboard is also very streamlined and easy to use. I like that it shows me all of the searched queries I've done from the beginning and allows me to delete them if I want to, but I personally like to keep them as a record. Bing Also has all of the features that Google offers, I know this because I've been using Google for a long time. Bing has really and i mean REALLY improved in the last few years and that's why I'm writing this because I'm simply impressed. this is my unbiased honest opinion about Bing. feel free to read or ignore it but if you read I hope you enjoy it. Have a nice day and stay safe! 😀View site information is shown as not secure when an image is opened on Bing
I am seeing this issue on both, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome that when an image is chosen and Photos view is opened on Bing, the site information turns from Secure to Not Secure and when the Photos view is closed, it also shows the site information of the images page as not Not Secure till the site is not Refresh. mation of Images page is also shown as Not Secure till the page is Refresh.Clearing Bing search history schedule
Quick question as I start my project: As there are no recommended benchmark settings for how often you should clear your Bing search history (it seems to be just left to personal choice) has anyone noticed any marked improvements with regular cleaning? E.g. You clean everything on a Sunday evening or you clean on exit. I'm looking to create an effective schedule for my users who just are non-technical. In fact, do you even notice a difference when you've cleaned? In know there are a lot of variables with this type of question like PC spec, length of time online, broadband speed etc so I'm just looking to set general rules for my clients E.g. Every 3 days.Why is the phrase "Girls" considered "Adult content" by Bing?
I just tried searching for something totally innocent but it had the phrase "girls" in it and then I got the message saying the search result are adult and can't be shown. obviously I know I can disable safe search or change country but it shouldn't be necessary. there is nothing adult about the phrase "girls". the same happens in Cortana in Windows 10.
