The improved search functionality saves users a bit of time by helping them get to where they’re going faster.

Microsoft previewed quite a lot of new features for their search engine at the Search Engine Strategies 2010 Conference in New York , highlighting foursquare integration and new design ideas. For instance, unlike the simple Google interface, Bing results include a list of links for enhancing your search.

Microsoft has incorporated foursquare’s widespread location-based data for a real-time experience with Bing Maps.  Microsoft hopes to incorporate much more significant data into the Bing search experience-an effort you can already see being experienced.  Microsoft executives have been transparent about their intentions to pursue bold measures to disrupt Google’s dominant place in the search market.  Microsoft and Google have considerable weight, and it is not at all clear how Microsoft will handle its “low cost” and bundled search products.

Microsoft hopes to incorporate much more significant data into the Bing search experience-an effort you can already see being tested.  Users can anticipate all of these updates to be rolled out before the weather goes bad again, and our best deduction is they’re interesting enough to gain the search engine a few more fans.  In the world of search and discovery, there aren’t many viable examples that give users the information they didn’t know.
