Bing Gets New 'Visual Search' Feature, Competes With Google Lens
Microsoft is not going to let Google have all the fun. The company has
recently unveiled Visual Search for Bing, a feature that's expected to
complete with Google Lens.
Visual Search is a new AI-powered search function that builds on the
Intelligent Search feature that Bing rolled out in December of last year.
The feature allows users to search the web or look for products via photos
saved on their camera rolls or pictures they have taken. For instance, you
can find more information about an unfamiliar flower or an interesting
building you came across by taking a photo through the Bing app or by
uploading it from your device. The Visual Search feature will then identify
the subject and provide you with links containing key information about it.

Today all marketing wars are won or lost at the local level.
As an ad agency, bridging the gap between the old world, characterized by
loyal advertisers and steady profits, and the new Age of Local,
characterized by hesitant advertisers and elusive profit is a huge
challenge.

Consumers will also be able to shop for clothes, accessories, or furniture
in the same way. Let's say a woman sees a necklace she likes. She can take
a shot or upload a picture of the item and Visual Search will send her
information on where she can buy the necklace, the price, and other
details. The feature can also send her similar-looking products.
According to Vince Leung, Microsoft's product lead, there are instances
where “it is almost impossible to describe what you want to search for
using words.” Visual search will certainly ease that dilemma, especially
as the algorithm the program uses is continuously learning. Since the
algorithm works by using data that contains millions of images, the more
data is searched for in Bing, the better the algorithm becomes.
Bing's core team stated that consumers can expect the Visual Search feature
to expand and improve continuously. You can now avail of the function's
latest version in the Bing app for Android and iOS. It's also available on
Microsoft Launcher and the Edge browser for Android. Visual Search will
also be available soon on the Bing.com and on Microsoft Edge for iOS.
