Key notes
You might think that Google Search is unbeatable and impossible to overthrow but Microsoft is not giving up the fight that easy.
Last month’s announcement with Bing Site Scan tool letting you set crawling speed raised some eyebrows but that’s merely a drop in the ocean, right?
Now, the giant from Redmondannouncedthat they are implementing Microsoft Search inBingand Microsoft 365 Apps for the enterprise.
That’s a big move because it bringsBingin the center of today’s virtual workplace, in the middle ofMicrosoft 365users.
How will Bing and Microsoft Search influence work?
Microsoft explains in theirannouncementexactly what Microsoft Search inBingis all about:
Microsoft Search inBingenables your users to use the familiarbrowseraddress bar and search box to find workplace information more easily.
For example, documents, internal sites and business tools, people and org charts, and other relevant information from within your organization.
Microsoft Search inBingsearches across files, SharePoint sites, OneDrive content, Teams and Yammer conversations, and other shared data sources in your organization, as well as the web.
So, if you’re at work, usingBing, not only that you will roam the Internet but also the resources from your workplace through Microsoft Search.
Moreover, they are working on an optional Google Chrome extension to setBingas the default search engine for Google Chrome and provide easier access to Microsoft Search.
After you install it, you will have an On/Off switch just in case you want to stop usingBingas the default search engine.
The extension will be limited to organizations that opt-in for it by electing a specific setting in the Microsoft Search section of the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Microsoft is rebranding Bing and changes its logo
After this announcement, several users, including the notorious @ALumiaspotteda different name and icon for theBingsearch service.
Some users see the name MicrosoftBinginstead of justBingand the icon has been changed from the stylized letter B to the Microsoft icon.
After the Microsoft Search in Bing announcement, a Bing rebranding makes the best sense in the world and it’s a part of a big effort by the giant to create a strong Microsoft 365 virtual office.
