Bangalore: Last year October, Facebook and Microsoft joined hands to make Bing search results more social by bringing 'Like' data and profile search to the search engine. The partnership now has gone a step ahead and now Bing will show Liked Results for all of the URLs shown on the search engine for the U.S. users.
The search results that are shown on Bing will now feature the Likes of your friends on Facebook that they have publicly shared. This will be seen just below the results shown for the search.
When this happens, the name and picture of your friends also get highlighted, which in turn makes your search more refined. However, it is known that Liked Results will not be seen for every query made.
Lawrence Kim from the Bing Social Team posted in a blog saying, "As people spend more time online and integrate their offline and online worlds, they will want their friends' social activity and their social data to help them in making better decisions. Integrating with Twitter data 16 months ago was one step, and exploring Facebook's rich streams is another."
