Posted by on Sep 16, 2010 in Search Engine Optimisation | Comments Off

Fully embracing HTML 5, the IE9 beta was launched yesterday, and the Bing team says their goal is to provide a “very rich” and “visually appealing search experience.”

Some of the new search features:

  • Query to Results: Smoother transitions from search page to results. There is no more flickering.
  • Images, Videos, Text: Previews are bigger, bolder and easier to trigger.
  • Quick Tabs/Visual Search: A more “application-like” experience.
  • Scrolling: Related searches, search history, and search box are locked in place as you scroll.
  • “Jump List”: A pre-programmed list lets you jump to your most important search tasks, from shopping and travel to maps, news and entertainment.
  • Optimized for Smaller Screens: Results “accordion out” as you scroll, expanding site descriptions as you scroll down.
  • Animations: HTML5 make search “come alive.”
