Customer Perspectives: Increase workplace productivity with Microsoft Search in Bing
Insights for Office is rolling out now worldwide wherever Bing and Office are available, with Word Online being the first service to receive the new feature.
It's more than just a search box in the Office ribbon, says Microsoft. The new Bing search feature in Office is different and smarter than a simple search on the web. Microsoft explains that the results users get with this tool use the entire words in the document as context to deliver precise, relevant results.
For example, if you're writing a research paper about Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, and need specific information, typing the word "Lincoln" into a search engine may return undesirable results, such as "Lincoln Car Company," "the movie," and other results. But with Insights for Office, Bing can analyze the text in your Office document to rank Lincoln (the former president) higher than other results.
