Microsoft Adds 'Lasso' Gesture to its Bing iPad App for Quick Searching

Bing for iPad has been updated with a new patented 'lasso' gesture that lets you search for a term by simply circling it with your finger.

Bing is a decision engine that's been designed to work beautifully with your iPad. Bing for iPad brings you closer to what you're looking for by delivering a visually rich, touch-enabled way to search and browse news, movies, Bing homepage images, local businesses, popular searches and much more.

Features:
- Swipe through our touch enabled movie listings, news articles, trending topics, local businesses and other rich, immersive search results.
- Stay current with the latest news, traffic, weather, stock quotes, movies and popular searches from the main screen.
- Bing Local and Map integration to help you find the places you are looking for from directions with real-time tracking to immersive road, traffic, aerial and "bird's eye" views.
- Follow the latest news and trending topics with beautifully iPad optimized results with rich images and magazine inspired layouts.
- Tell Bing what you are searching for with voice activated search.
- Wonderful touch friendly, grid view of image searches, with source site details and full page preview.
- Easily navigate between Bing results and websites as Bing frames the site to make it easy to return the search or to launch a new one.

What's New In This Version:
This new version introduces several user experience updates and a patented gesture based way to make searching easier with *lasso*. Simply lasso a word or phrase with your finger to do a search instead of copying and pasting into the search box. Search the way it was meant for the iPad. ●
