At Microsoft’s annual meeting yesterday, the rumor-mill began churning out tweets claiming Microsoft’s Bing search engine will be getting some new features. From the tweets that were posted (they have since been deleted), it appears that the Bing maps will get some additional functionality including pictures and Silverlight integration.

Overall, it’s all speculation. Some of the information received points to a launch date as early as next Monday, others claim anytime this fall. Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet got in touch with a Microsoft spokesperson who said: “We’re very excited about some of the new Bing features set to roll out over the next few months, but have nothing to announce today.”

If you haven’t already, would you switch your primary search engine to Bing if it offered new features? If so, which featuresseriously are important enough to make you switch?

I simply search for the best porn. All search engines do a decent job at this.

Bing is just too pared down in the results it shows to suit me.  If you are looking for something kind of esoteric Bing will probably miss that page.  If I want to narrow results that's what "" around a name or statement is for.

My main searh Eng has been Bing for about a month with Yahoo second. I just like the look and the searches seem to give me more of what I am looking for at the top of the search.

Really, I could use any of them.
