Bing's Visual Search on Google Chrome

Working in the search engine optimization and online marketing industries, I have to keep up with the latest ways in which people use the Internet and its search engines to find things online, then figure out a way to manipulate those results or at least be able to influence them in a manner that is beneficial to my clients who have hired me to help them be found online.

I was a bit disappointed after trying out Bing’s new Visual Search because it turns out that you can only search from their list of predetermined categories which only include:

  1. Entertainment
  2. Famous People
  3. Reference
  4. Shopping
  5. Sports

In addition, the Bing’s Visual Search requires that you install it on your PC first, which you must first download from this link.  Overall, I wasn’t impressed with it enough to say it’s something that I’d be using on a daily basis, yet.

However, if I can search for ANYTHING, then I definitely think this could be something I could get used to, but until then, I’ll stick to GYB!

That’s Google, Yahoo and Bing (using web search, NOT visual search!)
