hey guys john r Ettinger here i want to give you a demonstration of Bing Microsoft's new search engine and show you how it compares with google seem like I've been doing a lot of videos about Microsoft product software and harder recently but they have come out with a lot of really interesting things the past couple days Bing was announced last week and it actually was just announced today in a preview beta form today is June 1st so the address is www.samhsa.gov/dtac we fancy there that will pull up some of the most viewed results it'll break them into categories which is actually relatively interesting so here it's general Los Angeles Laker results down below it's Los Angeles Laker cheerleaders Los Angeles Lakers tickets rumors roster so really breaks up the search into search category which is very interesting and on the left-hand side here you'll see it shows some related searches which is also very neat the categories that are broken up - broken into are also displayed on the left hand side in the top let's go back to Bing again show you what else it does so it also searches images there's a relatively nice job of it so we can search just Lakers actually what image search looks like just pulls up standard images now one interesting thing that it does do is it searches videos so we'll type Lakers again go over to video and this will pull in video from a ton of different sources including YouTube and I'll say right down below where that video is coming from so right there it's going from the NBA espn.com after YouTube videos it also pull in YouTube videos at all like removal and you can see right there as you move your mouse over one of the videos actually does start playing which is very cool I'll show you that again and I've got the volume muted so you can't hear it but you can see the video is playing something that is actually a very neat feature so let's do a head and search for John for Lakers you can see that these are some YouTube videos that I've done or some mentions that I've been in and you can see that YouTube comes up here employee is nice and easy so here's my my old intro move your mouse away and that's done so we'll go back and you can also same with shopping news maps and travel same sort of similar search results you can search forever you'd like and they'll pull it up for you if you just want to do news and you click on it it will pull up the most recent news maps you can type in your location and uses Microsoft Live Search to pull up your math and also give you some nice pre eloquent directions and the same thing for traveling type of the location and you can search for travel deals or dates but it's kind of like a built in Expedia type of client it'll pull from a variety of different sources but the big thing that I care about is searching and how good and accurate the search results are and how does it compare against Google which I use all the time so let me go ahead and give you a heads head tag comparison of how to stacks up with a Google we are head-to-head with google.com really whichever one you like to looks better is going to be a personal matter I actually like the way Bing looks with the images in the background and Google is very simple at classic and it's become very iconic of Google so let's do similar search that we did before let's search for Lakers I will search for the Lakers and Google as well and unless you get the same results here the you get news results on top for Google and down below to get the official side of the Lakers Wikipedia and you get sort of the same thing here oh the first site you get is the best match the homepage you get some Lakers scheduling which is very nice tell you that the games are coming up in the games it just happened forms and news and Wikipedia is down a little bit below so one of the things that I use Google Form I know a lot of you use it for as well is actually a spell check that is being handled spelling errors well it's summer vacation a lot of people are in holidays let's type in holiday but spell it wrong two L's for holiday and it pulls up results for Matt holiday not the holiday we were looking for let's check another word let's type in Friday it's my favorite day of the week did you mean that Friday yes we did go ahead and hit it and I'll put a whole list of things for Friday let's try the same thing here with Bing your Friday and actually automatically corrects your results are included for Friday it doesn't ask you if you want to correct which is very interesting it breaks it down by categories in the day that I've been playing with being I've to say I'm very impressed that I do like the categories although the search results do not seem to be as accurate as it Google's you can see right here I've got one through twenty of 225 million on Google I've got 548 million so at least right now Google is pulling up almost double the results at least in this particular category certainly Bing will catch up to that but it's got a long way to go so my thing if you need to search I'm still going to use Google but I'm going to keep giving Bing a shot for other maybe non spellcheck related searches I think it's a nice end and I think it has a lot of potential so what do you guys think about Bing are you going to use it does it interest you or you've no interest in it whatsoever leave your comments down below for exclusive content be sure to follow me on Twitter twitter.com slash John for Lakers and I'll see you guys in the next video bye-bye
