It is undeniable that Google is the best search engine but lately I have been finding it very easy and comfortable to find images and videos on Bing.com than that in Google or any other search engine. I was trying to find some good picures of beaches and blue lagoons for one of my friend's blog. I did an image search with Google and Bing.com and I was able to find the best suitable pictures through Bing.com.
I would like to share some of the best features that I found on Bing.com.
The "Show similar images" is a great feature which would allow us to streamline our search. Take a look at the screenshot below.
When I clicked on "Show similar images" this is what I got.
The next amazing feature is isolating the Black & White images by clicking on the option "Black & White" on the left side.
The other features like Layout, Size, and style provides the users with a great way to find and download the best image of their choice.
Video Search on Bing.com
Video search is the one that I love the most in Bing.com. Unlike the other search engines, it allows you to watch a short preview of the video before you could actually start playing it. The search results are from a variety of websites like Youtube, Dailymotion.com, msn, MySpace and other sites.
I was searching for Jim Morrison's Roadhouse blues live version on Youtube for almost 3 hours and could not find it but on Bing video search I found it in less than 5 minutes. Take a look at the screenshots below.
