Bing... a custom search box for your blog or web page and a toolbar

5 Comments

Microsoft has long been trying to find something to compete with in the search engine market, finally they seem to have got some foothold. After much hard work and strain they have come up with Bing, their search engine which is aimed to compete in the search engine market to get more users. It’s one of the projects by Microsoft that needs to succeed rather very badly, after failing miserably with their Live search. A few search queries by me in the Bing apparently seemed pretty satisfactory. But that said, Google is Google. And Microsoft needs to come up with something at least as good as Google to draw the slightest attention of current Googlers.

The scenario is eminent that many bloggers and site owners will want to add a Bing! search box to their web pages. I have made one that looks something like this. Just type in any word and click Bing!

Well, it has been definitely a long time that Google became a verb, same is with Bing until we say let’s Bing! So if you want to add your own search box just copy this code (select the code in green below and click Ctrl+C to copy) and paste it wherever you want !!

<form method="get" action="http://www.bing.com/search" target="_blank"><input name="q" size="12"/><input type="submit" value="Bing!"/></form>

Only change if you want to make in the HTML code is you can change the size of the text box from 12 to any other value depending on your choice. If you need any help you are free to comment below. Keep Binging!

If you want a toolbar you can get it here. The "Magnifying Glass" icon you see in the toolbar's search box is just the beginning, which comes alive upon installation !! For any queries or information, please feel free to contact me here.

Some features are :

1. All-in-one Search Box

2. 10 Separate Search engines to choose from

3. Includes IMDB search box

4. Includes Twitter search !!

5. Includes Wikipedia & YouTube search

6. Includes Google Blogs search

7. Include Amazon & eBay search

8. Includes Images & Dictionary Search
