14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft continues to improve Bing, even though statistics demonstrate that Google remains the number one search engine on the web.
The company has introduced a time sorting option for the results page, thus allowing users to see only the links published in the past 24 hours, week or month.
“Behind the scenes, we spend a lot of time and computational horsepower to ensure that you are getting fresh and topical search results as they happen. In that spirit, we recently released an easy way for you to sort results by time period. Now whenever you search, you will see a filter at the top of the results page which lets you narrow down your search based on time period,” the Bing team explained.
Some users have reported that the feature is still unavailable in some countries, so Microsoft is most likely releasing it gradually in new markets as we speak.
In addition, the Bing homepage has recently replaced the Hotmail link with an Outlook.com shortcut, thus indicating that Microsoft is close to completing the retirement of its old email platform.
