Microsoft announced that they have partnered with Yelp to enhance their search results. Google being the number 1 search engine, others are always looking for new ways to compete and possibly take over the number 1 spot. Yelp is a website that provides users with reviews on businesses such as restaurants, hotels, bars, etc., like most free search engines, Yelp makes their money based off of advertising on their page. Aside from the addition to Yelp, Bing also added a Facebook connection to their search results. If someone looks up a certain company that has a Facebook page, that page and user reviews will also come up in their search. Recently Google added a feature called "The Knowledge Graph". This feature can help distinguish the difference amongst your search if the topic you are researching has various meanings. Bing came up with doing a "Snapshot" of the pages you search for to help you see more information about what you are searching for.
