1. Why is Bing for iPad not available in my market? When will it be released in my country, region, or market?

Things such as movie showtimes, news, and trends vary from country to country so there’s some extra work that goes into each new locale. We already added zh-CN support in Bing for iPad v1.2. Definitely we will consider to support more markets in our future release.

2. What languages are supported in Bing for iPad?

Bing for iPad v1.2 is available in English and Chinese.

3. Why are my search results different from what I get on Bing.com?

Bing for iPad uses the same search logic as the Bing.com website, but the app filters out the results that aren’t optimized for the iPad. For example, iPad doesn’t support Flash, so Flash results are excluded from search results.

4. When I travel to another country, why are my search results in a different language? Can I change this back to English?

When traveling outside the United States, Bing for iPad uses the IP address to determine your location and default to the local language. When traveling outside the United States, Bing for iPad uses the IP address to determine your location and default to the local language. To ensure that your searches always appear in English, download the updated version (v1.2) of Bing for iPad.

5. When I launch Bing for iPad how do I get back to where I was the last time I used it?

Bing for iPad always opens to the home page. To return to where you were the last time you used it, tap the orange icon   at the top near the searchbox.

6. What does the Trends module show me?

Trends show the top searches in the Bing network after editors remove inappropriate searches. It’s a quick way to see what’s happening in the world today, and a tap on one of the trends starts a search on that topic. This feature currently is only for en-US.

7. How do I close the browser window?

We have designed Bing for iPad as a layered panel system that you can navigate by swiping. Consider each browser window a panel and all the pages that you navigated to within each browser window a unit. To close the browser window, you can navigate away by swiping back or forth or by doing another search. To close all of the panels at the same time, go to Settings and tap Clear search history

8. What does the Pen icon do?

The highlighter  helps you find your search term in the content. For example, let’s say you searched for “London” and tapped one of the results. You could then tap the highlight icon to quickly show all mentions of “London” on the site.

9. What is the circle icon?

Lasso  is a new feature we’ve introduced in v1.1. Tap the icon, and then use your finger to circle any text on the page. The selected text automatically starts a new web search. Try it out and tell us what you think!
