Bing is one of the world’s most popular search engines, but are you using it to its fullest potential? Like most search engines, there are ways to perform advanced searches on Bing to drastically cut down the results and ultimately display the answers you’re looking for.
Below are various advanced search tips you might not know you can use on Bing.
Reverse Image Search on Bing
A Bing image match search is an easy way to find pictures that look like another image. You do this not by using text like a normal search, but instead by giving Bing the image you want to use as reference.
Bing isn’t the only search engine that accepts advanced keywords and other time-saving features. If you prefer Google, for example, there are advanced Google Search commands available.
Select the image button on the home page to browse your computer for the image, or provide its URL.
After running the search using an image, you can find others that look like yours, locate related searches, find which websites are using that picture, and more.
Bing’s Advanced Video Search Options
There are several advanced search options when looking for videos on Bing. They’re stored in a hidden toolbar that’s only visible after selecting Filter.
You can use these search options to quickly refine the results to videos that are less than five minutes long, 5-20 minutes in length, or over 20 minutes long.
There’s also a date filter so you’ll see only the items posted within the last 24 hours, or videos from the last week, month, or year.
Resolution, source, and price filters are also available when looking up videos on Bing. This means you can find just the longer YouTube videos, for example, that are at least 1080p in resolution.
Up-to-Date News on Bing
Similar to Bing’s video search options, you can find recent news over any topic with the Bing News advanced search filters. You can sort the news by most recent and even filter out everything that’s older than the last hour to ensure that you’re getting the most recent news possible.
