Bing is far more than merely a competitor to Google. This handy search engine and the app it comes with have a lot of nifty and even fun features to help you in your searching. In this article, we\u2019ll be looking at 8 Bing features and how you can get in on the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bing Features You Should Know About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get straight into it. Here are 8 Bing features to enhance your browsing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integrated AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Fun<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Copilot slots in very well with Bing, so much so that it now occupies two buttons below the search bar. Simply type in your prompt instead of a search and click \u201cImage creator\u201d or \u201cText creator\u201d below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bing Rewards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that you can use Bing searches to support charitable causes? Eligible Microsoft Rewards members can use the \u201cGive with Bing\u201d program to direct qualifying Rewards points toward participating nonprofit organizations. Sign in to your Microsoft account and check the \u201cRewards\u201d or \u201cGive with Bing\u201d page for the available options in your region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Games Section<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Fun<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you want a quick break. Bing and Microsoft’s MSN portal offer access to online games, including casual games in several categories. Look for the games section in the current Bing or MSN interface; its location and available categories may vary as Microsoft updates the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing Background Image<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Fun<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you use it enough, you\u2019ll know that Bing changes its background image every day, keeping things fresh and your search background looking stunning with a high-res image. You can also change it from panorama to still image (or remove it entirely) via Settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bing Webmaster Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Fun<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Website owners can use Bing Webmaster Tools to monitor search performance, review indexing information, research keywords, analyze backlinks, and identify technical SEO issues. The platform can also give insight into how your site content is cited in supported AI-generated answers. These tools can help spot chances to improve your site’s visibility, but they can\u2019t guarantee you\u2019ll get top search rankings or inclusion in Copilot answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preview Windows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Fun<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of several Bing unique features is the ability to hover over a video in the search result and have it start playing as a preview. It\u2019s a quick way to see without fully committing and browse at a glance. Some websites, like Wikipedia, will also offer different subsections or a table of contents up front to make browsing easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Performer Insights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Fun<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Website owners can use Bing Webmaster Tools to see how their content appears in AI-generated answers. The AI Performance report shows which pages are cited, how the citations change over time, and which searches are associated with those citations. This info can help publishers understand how their content is being engaged with across supported Microsoft AI sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual Search<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Fun<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Much like Google, you can also use Bing to search with an image: great for when you have a picture but are not sure what words to use to find it. The icon sits right in the search bar and allows you to drag and drop or manually upload the picture you want to search with.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
