Microsoft throws a challenge to Google!
Microsoft on Thursday unveiled the new Web search engine, Bing, which Microsoft claims is built to understand what people are seeking for their internet search. This is seen as Microsoft’s challenge to Google Inc. whose search engine Google has more than 50 per cent of the internet search market!
The US software giant is labeling Bing as a “Decision Engine”.
Bing’s launch from Microsoft comes in the wake of Google and Yahoo! announcing enhancements to their search engines and the launch of the much anticipated Wolfram Alpha query engine, which delivers answers rather than directing you to information with a list of websites.
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said, “Today, search engines do a decent job of helping people navigate the Web and find information, but they don’t do a very good job of enabling people to use the information they find. When we set out to build Bing, we grounded ourselves in a deep understanding of how people really want to use the Web.”
Bing relies predominately on algorithms and key words but instead it had infused some semantic technology to get the intended meanings of phrases, much like Wolfram Alpha query engine.
