brings up these features.
According to Microsoft, Bing will initially have four main search verticals: shopping around for products (with reviews and price comparisons), holiday and travel planning (using technology from their acquisition of Farecast), researching health conditions (possibly linked to Microsoft
HealthVault and using data from partners such as mayoclinic.com), and local business search (with integrated reviews and maps). At launch the categorisation and enhanced results are more likely to appear for queries relating to:
Cars (car models, car manufacturers)
Travel & Local (countries, cities, points of interest like stadiums and parks)
People (celebrities, athletes, musicians, bands, politicians)
Health (cancer, diet, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, symptoms, genetic and conditional disease, injury trauma)
Entertainment (popular television shows, films)
Retail (certain electronics such as cameras and mobile phones)
Beneath the subcategories as outlined above, Bing displays both related searches and search history. Related searches are a standard feature amongst all search engines and one which you would expect to find. They are useful since they give you search query ideas you may not have though of.
The search history however is new to Microsoft's search engine. Quite simply it provides the user's last few searches to aid navigation.
