New From Bing: Virtual Search the Presidents of the United States
In honor of Presidents Day, Bing has placed a new visual search gallery online. Today’s release (the 117th gallery) allows users to find fast facts about each POTUS (President of the United States) with images being returned instead of text.
Direct to POTUS Visual Search Page
Example Search:
1. After arriving at the page look at the filters above the images and interactive filters in the left rail.
2. We selected the youngest in office link. Click. Now you’re looking at images of each president sorted by age at the time of inauguration.
If a user cursors over each image you’ll find a bit more info while clicking on an image will run a search on the name.
3. Using the filters on the left side of the page, we looked for presidents who were members of the Republican Party and were born in California or Illinois or Texas.
Other visual galleries include:
+ Academy Award Winners
+ Cell/Mobile Phones
+ Most Followed Twitter Users
+ Top iPhone Apps (out of 2300 apps)
