Find Research Answers and Manage a Group

Research and group projects are easy with the internet search and share features. Know how to utilize all Bing has to offer your group project to make the best out of a touch situation.
Ever find a resource and move away from it just to learn that you needed it? With Bing you can save your search results in a folder online. This way you don’t have to remember what series of words you keyed in to get the results.
If you want to share the results of a search with a group partner or friend (very helpful for sorting through research documents) just share the results with them on Facebook.
Limit your search to a single file type. This will reduce the number of results that come up. No use seeing a lot of mp3s if you only need pdfs for your project. Type in the keyword “contains: file type.” The words file type will be replaced by the actual type of file you are looking for. For example type in “contains: PDFs.”
If you only need research reports that were relevant in the United States type in the keyword “loc:US” and see only webpages that are from that country. You can substitute US with any other country of choice.
For searches where you only want the title to be considered use the keyword “ntitle: word.” Change the word to the phrase or words you are looking for.
Don’t see what you’re looking for? Tell Bing to show more results. The Bing default is 10 per page. The Preference tab allows the user to view up to 50 on each page. If your connection is slow, this may be the way to go in order to save flipping through many pages.
RSS feeds are a convenient way to keep up with your search result links. Simply ask Bing to send them to you or share them with your group.
