4 Cool Features Of Bing Travel Search
Everybody is talking about Bing since Microsoft launched it recently. One of the things that is different at Bing is the travel search section. Bing combines the technology of Farecast and Orbitz to provide you with current fares along with future price predictions. Here are some of the interesting features that might send Bing apart when it comes to travels earch:
1. Price Predictor:
Using the Farecast technology, Bing offers something that sites like Orbitz and Expedia don’t. Once you search for a fare, Bing suggests if it is a good time to buy or if you should wait for a few more days.
2. Drag Filter:
Looking to narrow down you search results by price? Simply drag the price range bar and Bing will update results instantly. It saves you from going back and doing another more narrowed search.
3. Buy Directly From the Airline:
When you select a flight you like, Bing will take you directly to the airline website to buy the ticket. So you do get the search features similar to sites like Orbitz and Travelocity but you also get to buy the tickets directly from the airline, cutting down the middle man.
4. Comparison to Other Travel Sites:
You don’t need to go to Expedia or CheapTickets to see their rates, Bing lets you compare fares across major travel sites by just cliking their logo. No need to enter the details of your flight again.
Time will tell how Bing turns out to be as an overall search engine, but at least the Travel Search segment of Bing looks very promising.

i have been evaluating the search results of Microsoft Bing compared to Google and they are comparable. Bing gives almost the same relevant search results just like Google.
Bing does give search results much like Google but i would have to say that Google still gives more relevant search results.
i have been using the BING search engine for a couple of weeks. it seems to be as good as Google but for some reason i would still want to stick with Google search engine.
Bing gives results as relevant as Google.
BING search engine is just as good as Google. In my own personal experience, Google does give more releveant search result than Bing but the difference is very small. **
i am a user of Microsofts BING search engine and it is as good as google for static webpage search. for searching blogs, i think google gives more relevant search results compared bing.
my default search engine is Yahoo but now i am using BING because it is much better than Yahoo. i heard that Bing search engine would power Yahoo search also.
i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.
I use both Bing and Google search engine and i dont see much difference in their search results. I use google for searching hard to find academic topics and Bing for general search.
