你可能已经听过一千遍了,但让我再说一遍:谷歌(Google)是全球最受欢迎的搜索引擎。毫无疑问。相反,你不需要我告诉你谷歌(Google)对于满足你的好奇心有多重要。无论是新闻事件、体育报道,还是关于您不那么喜欢的名人的八卦,Google不亚于一眨眼的功夫就可以在Internet上找到您需要的任何内容。(Internet)
使其脱颖而出的必应搜索功能(Search)
好吧,谷歌(Google)毕竟不是唯一的搜索引擎。有Microsoft Bing、DuckDuckGo、Yandex等等。事实上,您可以查看这篇关于搜索引擎的有趣文章,以考虑您是否不再想使用 Google(search engines to consider if you no longer want to use Google)。
谈到谷歌搜索(Google Search)的替代品,微软必(Microsoft Bing)应几乎是谷歌(Google)搜索的完美替代品,当然,出于各种原因。凭借我对Google和Microsoft Bing的了解,我终于可以说一件事了。尽管将Google与Microsoft Bing进行比较就像将Apples与Oranges进行比较,但(Oranges)Microsoft Bing在某些领域比Google做得更好。让我们来看看:
1.搜索引擎验证码
在使用Microsoft搜索引擎对结果进行Bing(Bing-ing)时,您永远不会遇到验证码墙,这是Google 搜索(Google Search)的常见问题。这就是为什么有些人现在更喜欢Microsoft Bing而不是Google的原因之一。如果你是一个强迫性的搜索引擎用户,你应该特别注意你向谷歌(Google)寻求帮助的频率。原因很简单:谷歌(Google)不想在其搜索引擎上取悦机器人。因此,如果Google观察到来自一个 IP 的流量异常,该平台可能会认为它是一个机器人。
您一定经历过不断向Google证明您不是机器人是多么令人沮丧。这是Microsoft Bing节省用户时间并张开双臂欢迎您进行过度搜索的地方。你不想试一试吗?(Don)
2.图片搜索滚动
Bing比Google更有条理的另一个领域是图像搜索滚动体验。Bing最初引入了水平图像滚动,谷歌(Google)已经在图像搜索(Image Search)中复制了这一点。但是有一些不同之处。谷歌(Google)的水平图像在侧面板中打开,占据了几乎一半的屏幕空间,用户无需进一步向下滚动即可预览其中的五六张图像。谷歌(Google)最糟糕的部分的图片搜索是当您单击图片时,它首先将您定向到主机的网站。然后,您必须手动向下滚动以跟踪图像的位置。这显然违背了图像预览的全部目的。
另一方面,使用Bing搜索好图像需要的努力要少得多。(Bing)Bing的水平滚动面板占据了整个屏幕,感觉更像是幻灯片。您可以通过单击顶部的关闭按钮快速返回缩略图视图。单击图像后,您将直接在单独的选项卡中查看全尺寸图像,而不是像Google那样被迫先访问该网站。

3. 高级视频搜索
您是否尝试过使用Bing搜索视频?是时候尝试一下了。坦率地说,我对(Frankly)Bing作为视频搜索平台的外观和感觉感到惊讶。所有视频搜索结果都使用简洁的缩略图进行组织,可以通过单击每个图像下方的预设停止来滚动。要使用 Google 的视频搜索查看相同数量的视频,您必须滚动更多。然而,故事并没有就此结束。
您可以在全屏模式下直接播放Bing视频,而无需访问(Bing)YouTube、Facebook或托管该特定视频的网站。
现在,当涉及到Google的视频搜索时,这是一个重大的交易破坏者。与Bing不同,Google将始终引导您到YouTube或其他网站观看视频。必(Bing)应视频还为Google视频搜索提供了出色的结果。在算法建议方面,它至少和YouTube一样好。(YouTube)
开始使用Bing搜索视频后,您甚至无需访问YouTube(当然,除非您想阅读评论)。

4. 为您的Bing(Bing)搜索查询添加书签
能够在必(Bing)应上为搜索查询添加书签是一种全新的体验,很少有人知道。Bing清楚地显示了一个名为My Saves的选项,它允许您将所有搜索结果保存在一个地方。保存您的兴趣后,您会遇到有关您最喜欢的主题的搜索建议。一旦您开始使用Bing的“我的保存(My Saves)”选项,您可能想要告别保存书签或收藏夹。
5.更多隐私选项
Bing 允许您从其他隐私设置菜单中完全禁用基于兴趣的广告。虽然它与Windows Skype Xbox和 office 连接良好,但您可以明确选择不使用您的Microsoft帐户。作为用户,您还可以完全控制自己的隐私。与Google不同,Microsoft不使用基于内容的定位,即不会跟踪您的电子邮件、聊天、文件和其他个人资料以进行广告。此外,您还可以删除所有搜索记录。
由于我们讨论的是隐私问题,请不要忘记查看我们之前关于Bing 如何比 Google 更私密(how Bing is more private than Google)的文章。
5 features where Microsoft Bing Search outperforms Google
You’ve probably heаrd this a thousand timеs already but let me just say іt one more time: Google is the moѕt popular search engine worldwide. There’s no doubt about that. Rather, you don’t need me to tell you how importаnt Google is to fulfill your hungеr for curiosity. Whether it’s a news event, sports coνerage, or gоssip about your not-so-favorite celebritieѕ, Google is no less thаn a gateway to fіndіng anything you need to find on the Internet in the blink of an eye.
Bing Search features that make it stand out
Well, Google is not the only search engine after all. There’s Microsoft Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, and many more. In fact, you can check out this interesting article about search engines to consider if you no longer want to use Google.
Talking of Google Search alternatives, Microsoft Bing comes pretty close to being the perfect alternative to Google search and for various reasons, of course. With my fair bit of understanding of both Google and Microsoft Bing, I can finally say one thing. Although comparing Google to Microsoft Bing is like comparing Apples to Oranges, there are certain areas where Microsoft Bing does a lot better than Google. Let’s take a look:
1. Search engine captcha
While Bing-ing for results with the Microsoft search engine, you will never encounter a captcha wall, which is a regular problem with Google Search. This is one of the reasons why some people now prefer Microsoft Bing over Google. If you are a compulsive search engine user, you should be extra careful about how frequently you ask Google for help. The reason is simple: Google doesn’t want to entertain bots on its search engine. So, if Google observes an abnormal amount of traffic coming from one IP, the platform will perhaps assume it’s a bot.
You must have experienced how frustrating it is to keep proving to Google you are not a bot. This is where Microsoft Bing saves users time and welcomes your excessive searches with open arms. Don’t you want to give it a try?
2. Image search scrolling
Another area where Bing is more organized than Google is the image search scrolling experience. Bing had originally introduced horizontal image scrolling, something Google has already replicated in Image Search. But there are a few differences. Google’s horizontal images open in a side panel, which occupies almost half the screen space, allowing users to preview only five or six of those images without scrolling down further. The worst part with Google’s image search is when you click on an image, it first directs you to the host’s website. You then have to manually scroll down to trace where the image is. This clearly defeats the whole purpose of image previews.
With Bing, on the other hand, searching for good images takes far less effort. Bing’s horizontal scrolling panel occupies the entire screen which feels more like a slideshow. You can quickly return to the thumbnail view by clicking the close button on top. Once you click on an image, you’ll directly view a full-sized image in a separate tab rather than being forced to visit the website first, unlike Google.

3. Advanced video search
Have you ever tried to search for videos using Bing? It’s time you should give it a try. Frankly speaking, I was surprised at how developed Bing as a video search platform looks and feels like. All the video search results are organized using neat thumbnails that can be scrolled by clicking the preset stops underneath each image. To view the same number of videos with Google’s video search, you’ll have to scroll a lot more. However, the story doesn’t end there.
You can directly play Bing videos in full-screen mode without having to visit YouTube, Facebook, or a website hosting that particular video.
Now that’s a major dealbreaker when it comes to Google’s video search. Unlike Bing, Google will always direct you to YouTube or other sites to watch the videos. Bing videos also give superior results to Google video search. It’s at least as good as YouTube in terms of algorithmic suggestions.
Once you start using Bing to search for videos, you don’t even need to visit YouTube (unless, you want to read the comments, of course).

4. Bookmark your Bing search queries
Being able to bookmark search queries on Bing is a whole new experience that not many people are aware of. Bing clearly displays an option called My Saves, which allows you to save all search results in one place. Once you save your interests, you will come across search suggestions on your favorite topics of choice. Once you start using Bing’s ‘My Saves’ option, you might want to say goodbye to saving bookmarks or favorites.
5. More privacy options
Bing allows you to completely disable interest-based advertising from the other privacy settings menu. While it is well connected with Windows Skype Xbox and office, you have a clear choice not to use your Microsoft account. As a user, you are also in complete control of your privacy. Unlike Google, Microsoft does not use content-based targeting where your emails, chats, files, and other personal stuff are not tracked for advertising. What’s more, you can also delete all search history.
