Suggestions for Microsoft’s Bing?

We were wondering how the new bing.com web search would affect our business once it was released. So far, one result has been that we’re turning into a third-party sounding board. Here are some of the comments we’ve received through OUR web contact form at bingdesign.com

I constantly mistype weather making it weatehr or something similar, when I search for the word it suggests weather even if it was mistyped in the search results but if you could show on the suggested pull down list correctly spelled words if its not a recognized word to help me catch the typos before waiting on the search you could speed up my search time.

When a subject is typed into the search space and the enter is hit, one does not like to have to do it twice becuae someone programed the computer to make it happen that way. I could care less about the first group of crap that po’s up, I want the subject and do not want to have to hunt for it. That is why I do not, and my friends who come over and use my computers will no longer do so. Thank you so much for that one. Try Harder Please.

nice job, found out about this site in business week, search brings up different sites that I really do appreciate you finding for me, nice to see microsoft kicking some butt.

I attempted to use Bing to do two simple searches. First, the names and contact information of Motels, Hotels etc in Gladwin, Michigan. It produce what I would call garbage information. One of the facilities that it came up with is for sale and is not even open. Second, I asked for Multuple Sclerosis and known recognized treatments. I was looking to see if you had the material that i could get from my local library. The library has access to articles and medical journals from all over the world. The material that I saw listed did not include very much data from outside the United States. The British have a great deal of data and studies done over the past 50 years that do not even mention. Some of it includes studies done on things like Greek Extra Virgin Olive oil done in the 1960’s which turned out to be quite effective. Best of luck with the site. It appears today that some tweeking is in order.

Hello, I just want to thank you all for creating an awesome online seach engine – bing.com. I have been a big Google fan for many years, but ever since I discovered bing.com a while ago I have transfered over – making Bing my #1 online seach engine. I discovered bing.com through a friend and now I have all my family, friends, and co-workers hooked on this site. It has gotten so bad at work that now we all have it as our Internet homepage. I love everything about Bing. It is easy, quick, better results, and has other cool features, which include the \”Popular now\” links. And the best thing about it all – I can access it at any time and still get great results, without error messages. As a student and as an employee, I definately appreciate this site. Great job guys! I will definately speak to my friends at school and work to give Bing.com a try. But I am most convinced that once they try it – they too will be hooked. Keep up the good job. I look forward to this site\’s future success. As I tell my friends, GO BING.COM!!

I’m a programmer and the search on your site doesn’t work. I typed in ‘What color is a blue car’ and the results were complicated and didn’t make sense.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE BING TOOL BAR. I HAVE TRIED 3 TIMES

It has come to my attention that Bing translated in Chinese can mean disease.

I would think that if you were to use Bing that your computer could get a virus?

I was informed that bing has several different translations, another common one is ice or remarkable.

That’s right Joe, bing does also mean “ice.”

But how funny – that Microsoft, which is know for its “bugs” has a product that translates as “disease.” Good observation, even if it’s just semantics. ;)

Microsoft has to start becoming more turstworthy and reliable ,but it would be cool for bing to have like a youtube,facebook,twitter,myspace,tmz,realplayer and realarcade social network website and searchengine for all ages.

Pull the stupid advertisement on TV. I will not use Bing just because of the annoying ad that plays all the time.

The pictures on the Bing.com homepage are great, but often not accessible to download for desktop background use. Making these pictures readily available for personal download would be a good start, but also creating something that would set your desktop background each day to match the picture on Bing.com would be a great value-add.
