Microsoft Invaded The Holy Land Of Search Giant Google
Microsoft has found a way to entice users from Google again.
We all know that Google is the №1 company in the field of online search. Google’s biggest rival is the Bing search engine of software giant Microsoft. But with only 3% of the market, Bing is not at all pressure to make Google sweat. In an effort to help grow the Bing search engine, Microsoft dared to invade Google’s holy land.
According to a recent post on the Pixel Phone forum, Microsoft has found a way to bring Bing to Google’s Android. We all know that the default Google search engine implements all of the Android search features.
But now, inside the Outlook app on Android, Microsoft has integrated the search feature with Bing. When highlighting a piece of text and holding down, a menu with three options is displayed, one of which is Bing search.
If you click this option, a browser window will open right in Outlook, with results searched using the Bing tool. In other words, even if you don’t have the Bing app installed, this tool can still work on Android.
