It seems as though it has been the norm lately that if Google announces something then Bing makes a big announcement within 24 hours and visa versa. Just the other day Google announced the Caffeine Search Engine was ready to go live and will be on 1 data center soon. Now today Bing announces a rollout of a bunch of new features. Below we will show you what is new with Bing.

Bing Task focused home page
It’s the holiday season and many of us will soon hit the road to visit family and friends. Research shows that when most of us plan travel, we turn to search engines first. Bing has several features that might help, beginning with a task-focused home page. Just scroll over “Travel” and with a simple click you can conduct your travel related-queries.

Not only are we using the web to help plan and book travel, we are also looking for information on local attractions, points of interest, neighborhoods and other local information sources like newspaper web sites. So we’ve created enhanced results for hundreds of cities, putting key information only a click away. Surveys among travelers also show that a top unmet need is access to high-quality images of potential destinations. We’ve taken note, and developed enhanced city results, which include links to key information and high-resolution slide shows.

We’re making the very popular preview feature even better in a number of ways. We’re making it easier to actually find it  by making the expansion button more obvious. We’re doing a better job mining things like contact phone numbers and email addresses from web pages and displaying them clearly under a Contact  banner, and generally cleaning up the interface to make it easier to decide if this a site you want to visit.. Last, we’re also integrating images in some preview results. We believe that all these features will allow for a faster decision about whether a site is right for your needs, which means less clicking on your browser’s back button.

Now what to do once you’ve arrived at your destination? Or, what will you do to entertain the family while they visit you? You can now use our new event search feature, which provides a quick summary of events for major cities, which you can filter by categories like performances, civic activities, music and others:

Bing also makes it easy to see prices from popular ticket vendors across the web for events and even gives you handy venue information right in the search result!

Bing Search And Share Feature

Speaking of holidays and family…Have you started shopping yet? Has your little one given you his or her wish list? Or better yet, have you given your wish list to your family? We’ve helped make researching and deciding a little easier with our search sharing feature. Simply type in a product name and then share with your friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, or e-mail. Who would have thought making a holiday list using search could be so easy?

Bing better results for health conditions, medications, and even hospitals

With the weather turning cold, it’s harder than ever to keep in shape. And all those goodies during the holidays won’t help. To help out, we’ve introduced better results for health conditions, medications, and even hospitals.. Each gives you more information and a more organized set of results to make it easy to get your health-related questions answered.

This only covers a few of the new features being rolled out in Bing. Go to http://www.bing.com and see what new features you find.
