Bing - what is it?

• Bing is a Microsoft Internet search engine. The Bing.com website is in direct competition with Google and Yahoo.
• If you open Bing, you can enter any term or an entire search phrase here. For example, search for our website, simply enter "CHIP" and you will receive all relevant search results.
• Bing is mainly used on Microsoft's in-house products. Bing Search and Bing Maps are used on Windows 10 and Windows Phones as well as in Internet Explorer.
• Just like with Google, in addition to the classic search and the map material, you will also find an image search. "News" mainly shows you news articles related to your search terms.
• For the normal user, there are no real differences between Bing and other search engines like Google. The advertising ads may appear a little more concise.
