    Bing is now officially called Microsoft Bing-microsoft-bing-logo.jpg

    As Bing continues to evolve, we’re focused on expanding the ways in which you can use Bing.

    For example, did you know that Bing powers InPrivate search with Microsoft Edge, quick searches in the Windows taskbar, work search scenarios with Microsoft 365, immersive gaming in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and much more?

    That’s why starting today, you will see a shift in product to Microsoft Bing, which reflects the continued integration of our search experiences across the Microsoft family...

    Renaming it will not make it any less crap - LOL. When I am doing technical searches, it is useless compared with google.

    It is ok if you need to know who the last Celebrity Big Brother winner was /S.

    BTW - BING is an acronym

    Bing does not work for my search needs. You can call it whatever you want.

    The Bing integration in MFS is actually pretty amazing. I use Bing sometimes when I directly type in Edge, and it finds mostly anything I search for. But I use Google more because of habit. I think most will figure out that Microsoft is part of Bing without needing the corporation spelled out in front of it. It's too contrived imo. What about Microsearch? I want more creativity!
