How many do you do : accidental bing searches ?

Saijo George — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 10:18:24 +0000

If you own a Windows Phone device with a capacitive search button , chances are you have replayed a lot of games just coz you accidentally launched Bing after clicking on the dedicated search button. Some where down the line an update was released which reduced this considerably while playing games ( this is probably the top scenario for most of performing an accidental search ), but you might still get those accidental Bing search every now and then.

Long Zheng from the chevron fame has posted a possible chnage in how the search button could be modified for devices with capacitive buttons.

Search Hub : Windows Phone 7 App

Search Hub Results

How many of you would want to replace the default Bing search with Google Search. If such an option is available I would do that in a heartbeat. with the number of accidental clicks on search, a disable option sounds attractive too but that is not available for now but if you are looking for an easy way to search on bing, yahoo and google for web and image results this app might be what you are after.

WP7 App Description

With Search Hub you can search Bing, Google and Yahoo simultaneously for web sites and images. You just enter once what you’re searching for and Search Hub will contact all these search engines to get and combine the web and image results.

SearchHub can show you the combined top 3 of each search engine, and zoom in into more results of each search engine separately.

Bing WP7 to feature Barcode / CoverArt Scan

. Saijo — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 01:30:17 +0000

Charles Johnson who heads up Mobile Advertising for Microsoft recently had the opportunity to entice Advertisers to WP7 at Cannes Lions and he showcased some features of WP7 along with some new features in Bing ( I am not sure if this will be / are present in WM6.x – haven’t used Bing in a long time ) but some of the features sure looks nice. Check out 9:10 and 14:03 into the video.

Twitter and Facebook Search about the keyword with one click – It looks like you can also drill down to results by your friends only.
Voice Search
Share with your Friends ( dont see myself using this a lot but I am sure once in a while my friends would love to read about my Larissa Riquelme tweets, posts ;) )
Local search, Map integration , directions and contact info for Business ( not a new feature , but at least we know its going to be there .. unlike copy paste / multitasking which will be absent from initial release)
Barcode and CoverArt Scan and Bing gives you info on that product

To those who are wondering what that great music was at 14:03 – its Boule De Neige – The Shiffers
