Bing gets visual search, passes 10% market share

Microsoft has unveiled a new visual feature for its Bing search engine that will help users find what they are looking for even if they don't know what to call it.

Bing is sooooo USA specific. If you live for in another country (and Bing detects it), the searches are ... so irrelavant. As soon as you choose "United States" in the preferences, everything is *OK*.

So Bing shall be chosen by the rest of the world only if it surpasses the USA-specific stage and enter a new level where it will provide proper results for the rest of the world.

That is nowhere near as shocking as Yahoo's drop. Is Japan latching onto Bing or something?

The Visual Search may not be the intended last stop for someone, but it may in fact be the last stop. Whats meant to act as an attention grabber might be the only information people get. http://www.newsy.com/videos/spice_up_your_search
