Bing Desktop: the integrated Windows search bar

The firm of Redmond yesterday launched the beta version of Bing Desktop, its autonomous search bar into Windows 7.

Yesterday Microsoft has made available for download the beta version of its utility called Bing Desktop. It allows, directly from the Windows desktop, to search via the search engine Bing of the firm without having to open a Web browser.

1.4 MB file installs a search bar that is place by default to the center of the screen (an option allows the Center at the top of the Office). This area of research is from left to right: the Bing logo, by clicking on it, allowing direct access to the site, Bing.com, of the input field the terms to search for, then the button giving access to the options finally.

Thus, it will be possible to launch Bing Desktop at every startup of Windows, to allow the update of the wallpaper of the Office with the image displayed on the web page Bing.com or still activate the hotkey "Winkey + H" to appear the bar research at any time.

Bing Desktop Beta is available in English for all versions of Windows 7.
