Microsoft is pushing its new Bing Smart Search feature, which will hit the streets tomorrow when the company releases Windows 8.1.
Bing Smart Search is a feature in the new OS that simultaneously searches the web, the cloud (Microsoft SkyDrive), your PC and — if you’re using a mobile device — your device and the apps on it.
Microsoft pushed out a TV commercial about it a month ago, and has posted a new ad today on YouTube:
There’s also a lengthy post on the Windows blog about Smart Search that dives into a lot of the details about the new technology, including its reliance on Bing’s Satori technology — its version, if you will, of Google’s Knowledge Graph — which has structured data about “hundreds of millions of entities.”
The link I used up in the first paragraph — www.bing.com/smartsearch — offers a demo that shows how Smart Search works with four different types of searches. You can see some of the structured data they’re talking about in the demo.
