Bing Search Tips

Your Internet search results with MSN Toolbar are only as effective as your search. To search more effectively:

• Spell your search words correctly, leaving a space between each search word.
• Use specific search words likely to be in relevant websites. Leave out common words (e.g. a, and, and the) ignored by search engines.
• If search results don't provide what you want, change your search terms. Alternate words usually provide different search results.
• Search for an exact phrase with quotation marks. (e.g."short evergreen tree").
• Search dates with the name of the month, not the calendar number.
• Search words aren't case sensitive.
• With the search bar installed, your searches from other search engines (e.g. Yahoo! or Google) may automatically appear in the Toolbar search box, so additional Bing results are just a click away.

When search history is on, previous matching searches may appear as you type. For more information, see Change Search History and other Bing Settings.
