Microsoft is about to announce a new search engine (June 3) and try again to take on Google and Yahoo. The new site, called Bing, is intended to make everyday Web searching a little less complicated. Bing also tries to make it easier for people to buy things, book travel and find credible health information. Microsoft says it will lead to faster, better organized and more relevant results. Reports say that the company will spend lavish amounts to publicize the new engine. So far Google has been unstoppable as the search engine of choice. It will be interesting to see where this leads. Will Bing boom?
