You probably didn't wake up today expecting an entirely new search experience.
But — Bing! — here it is.
So, why a new search engine? Why the new name? Why now?
Well, because even though search is apretty amazing thing, the current state of search engines has someequally amazing statistics.
So far in 2009, there are four and ahalf websites created EVERY SECOND as the web continues to expand.While more searchable information is cool, nearly half of all searchesdo not result in the answer that people are seeking.
At the same time, the way the worldsearches is changing. You want more than just information. You wantknowledge that leads to action.
The truth is you've evolved. It's time search caught up.
So we had an idea. Start over. And we did.
We took a new approach to go beyondsearch to build what we call a decision engine. With a powerful set ofintuitive tools on top of a world class search service, Bing will helpyou make smarter, faster decisions. We included features that deliverthe best results, presented in a more organized way to simplify keytasks and help you make important decisions faster.
And features like cashback, where weactually give you money back on great products, and Price Predictor,which actually tells you when to buy an airline ticket in order to helpget you the best price — help you make smarter decisions, and put moneyback in your pocket.
We sincerely hope that the next time you need to make an important decision, you'll Bing and decide.
Thank you,
Bing Team, Microsoft
