Microsoft to demo new search engine (Kumo) next week
Microsoft has been working on a new search engine, code-named Kumo, for months. According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft will finally show the search engine to the public at the D: All Things Digital conference next week.
As far as we can tell from early screenshots, Kumo features a clean, streamlined look with filters for search results in the left-hand navigation. You can sort search results by categories such as images, songs, lyrics, music, videos. You know, kind of like you can do with the new search filters that Google rolled out last week.
Kumo will also reportedly feature improvements to its video and image search engines. Because really, the most important thing isn't how nice a search engine looks, but how good it is at providing the information you're looking for.
