Bing now lets you tag your Facebook friends while searching so you can ask directly about queries.
Microsoft has added yet another Facebook feature
to its Bing search engine. Now you can tag up to five of your Facebook
friends by typing their name in the sidebar on the right when sharing a
search, in the hopes that they will give you input on your query.
Assuming you've given Bing permission to access your Facebook account, the question will be automatically posted on your Facebook Timeline. At the same time, your tagged Facebook friends will get a notification so that they can help you find what you're looking for.
Microsoft gives three example scenarios where this could be useful: asking your travel guru friend for help planning a summer vacation, a "foodie" who can lend some suggestions for your next backyard barbecue, and just your general Facebook friends who may want to join you after you find some great hiking trails. For a more visual explanation, Microsoft put together this video:
