Bing Launches Wolfram|Alpha Integration, Enhanced Hover Preview, and Full Page Weather/Events Results
Bing today is unleashing a flurry of big updates, all part of Bing Wave 2.
Wolfram|Alpha Partnership
First up is a new integration with Wolfram|Alpha in the diet and fitness category. As a result, users will be able to get information on nutrition and the Body Mass Index (BMI).
Enhanced Hover Preview
When Bing launched, hover preview was one of its features. The preview grabbed text from a search result so you could see more info on a site before clicking on the link. You had hover over a very small and specific circle. But now Bing is making the hover preview more accessible and substantial. Here’s what to expect:
Weather/Event Results
If you search for a city, on the left sidebar, you’ll see a refinement search for weather in that city. Clicking on that will give you more detailed information about weather. This can help you plan your day so you know whether to grab that jacket or umbrella on the way out the door.
Bing will be pulling together information from news, events, xRank results, Twitter feeds, images, Best Match results and content from trusted sites for the Weather/Events results.
The updates will roll out over the next few days, so hold your horses if you haven’t gotten them yet.
