Sina Science and technology news Beijing time of June 25, Microsoft released in Monday, the student version of Bing search engine Bing for Schools, the target users are students in the United States.

This version of the student Bing search engine applies to kindergarten children to high school students, which removes all ads because Microsoft considers schools to be "learning rather than sales". In addition, Bing's built-in adult content filtering Afesearch will be automatically configured according to the strictest settings and modified for students to be unable to change back to their original settings. Microsoft also said that Bing for schools would have some other enhanced privacy protection features, but these features are not yet finalized.

The Bing for schools will also bind a number of short course plans that faculty members can use to teach basic digital literacy related to search and Common Core. The Common core, known as the Common Core State standards, is the common standard of American educational system, which is the United States ' standard of education.

Bing for schools is due to be launched later this year, so Microsoft today stressed that the company is still determining what features the first version of Bing for schools will have. Microsoft will provide this search engine free of charge to schools and school districts that want to participate in the spontaneous program. "We believe that through this program we will be able to create the best possible search experience for our children," said Matt Wallert, an Bing behavioral scientist, Matt Wallaert. ”

Industry insiders point out that it is not surprising that Microsoft also wants to show a similar spirit of benevolence in the international context of Google's reputation for its work in the education industry. The software and Web sites that students use in class are often used as a custom way to find information after they graduate, so Bing for schools can also be seen as an investment in the future. Bing's search engine is still a long way from catching up with Google's search engine, but for Microsoft, the launch of Bing for schools is another measure it has taken to win public attention.
