Microsoft Bing has a rich experience

The biggest visual difference between Microsoft Bing and Google and Baidu may be that Bing's search interface uses huge photos as a backdrop to its home page, and the interface is so dazzling that Bing is a typical rich-experience interface.

If you don't use Microsoft's Live Search (which is rarely used by anyone), you'll be impressed by Bing, who replaces the product. Microsoft's new search engine uses a single syllable, four-letter word Bing as its name, like an aggressive, ruthless giant with no sense of a Chinese homophonic "disease" – from which the letter B and the Blues will no longer represent China's giant Baidu alone. Bing not only has a short, loud English name, and Wennan "Bing" is also well worth pondering-the almost identical pronunciation of English is closer to the Chinese implicit style with two Chinese characters, which is more suitable for the name of the search engine.

It seems to follow the consistent style of Microsoft, Bing's interface and user experience design is also very rich. Google's concise style has long been praised and celebrated, but Bing appears to have the opportunity to bring a new wave to the search engine world.

Prior to the advent of Bing, the Ask.com search engine, which had a large impact, had been using a huge photo as its home background, offering a replacement function that was impressive. Bing's front page interface is also dazzling, and greatly enriched the experience. Even without a complete review, it is not difficult to find some features.

• The home page not only contains a fixed and prominent search box, but also shows a specific theme (such as Turkey scenery and hot air balloon). The big picture has hidden some of the mouse to move up to show the link, may be the hands of leisure visitors to bring some unexpected inspiration.
  
• Search results will be sorted-if Bing knows how to categorize them. On the one hand, the left side will give the various categories of fast links, on the other hand, the right search results are grouped according to different categories.
• Hover the mouse over the right side of the entry in some search results, and the content will pop up for quick previews. This may be the most valuable text in the page, or it may contain the most clicked links in the page.
  
• The results of a picture search are not pagination, but are generated instantly with the scrolling of the screen, effectively improving the efficiency of the application. Move the mouse over a single picture, and a small box will display the caption, address, and links to related actions.
  

Whether it's interface design or experiential design, Microsoft's Bing has changed the minimalist style of the mainstream search engine. Using a large picture background, gradient, pop-up and other rich visual effects, Bing brings the user experience not only good-looking but also practical, it is the search engine products in the world has a positive meaning of the attempt.

Of course, Bing has been criticized for its introduction. In fact, Bing does have a real problem with the quality of search results and the speed at which they are presented.

Note: At present, there is still a big gap between the use of Bing Chinese version and the American version in the experience and the result presentation. By default, visitors in China will automatically enter the Chinese version (the interface language depends on the language of the operating system the user is using). This article uses the U.S. version of the test and screenshots.
