Don’t let Google scare you into thinking they’re the only search engine out there.  Microsoft’s Bing offers users a solid, user friendly engine with a ton of features that set it apart from the competition.   In this article, we’re going to dissect Microsofts patented search engine and bring you some basic tips to help get you started.  We’ll also run you through some of Bings more distinct features, including 3D map capabilities and Microsoft’s Photosynth system.  

General Tips: 

Summary Text- Did your latest search turn over far too many results?  Don’t fret, just use the Summary Text Icon located at the far right of available links for a brief summary of the article, so you can make a much more informed decision before commiting to a link.  

Related searches- Keep an eye on the left hand side of your screen, as Bing will often show you related searches in case you’re having a bit of trouble finding what you’re looking for.  Keep in mind that your browser most likely comes configured with an RSS button of some sort that will help link you to any available RSS feeds within your search parameters.
