What is Bing Web Search?
The Bing Web Search API allows you to include Bing’s search capabilities in your applications. Your search queries will return webpages, videos, news, images and more. The retrieved web documents are indexed and can be filtered by freshness, result type and location, among others. If your application only needs a specific type of result, it would be a good idea to consider using Bing Image Search API, Bing News Search API or Bing Video Search API.
Bing Web Search also has additional features and functionality which allow you to customize search results for the users of your app. These features include,
You can also customize results to the location or market of the user. This can be done either implicitly by using IP address or configured explicitly. Search results and answers can be ranked and arranged to fit your layout. You can also customize the safe-search level of the results or help users find more search options with a list of related queries.
