Microsoft Bing Search Features & Tests

Here is another batch of Microsoft Bing Search tests and features that were caught out in the wild that I wanted to share with you. They include sorting, filtering, carousels, animations, related content and maybe even some bugs?

(1) Sorting results by more parameters:

Bing test search filter to sort results by time period at the bottom of the search result.
You may already seen this at the top of the search result.@MSBing_Dev @rustybrick pic.twitter.com/Wc1AzUxHuV

(5) I am not sure what this is about:

Anyone else notice the @bing mouse logger script running on their search results? @facan it seems to be running and collecting data even if you don’t accept Microsoft’s privacy policy… @BingWMC is the data going to you? pic.twitter.com/3zuPeMnQIS
