Microsoft Bing Shopping Adds Departments, Stores, Editors Picks, Deals, Pricing Trends & Amazon Integration
Microsoft announced (also here) it has added the ability to browse Bing Shopping by department, store tabs, editors picks, insights on item popularity, price across multiple stores, and deals. Microsoft said “these enhanced options provide useful hover menus and informative page guides which highlight choices, deals, and trends.”
Microsoft Shopping also added deeper integration with Amazon to add products to your cart directly from search.
Here is the browsing feature by departments, with over 1,000 different categories. I should note, these departments seem to be starting to be indexed by Google Search – which is probably not what Google wants?
Saigo George noticed these departments showing up in the Google Search index:
