Help You Search on Bing

Let Me Bing That For You creates a shareable Bing tutorial link. When someone opens it, the page points to the search box, types the query, highlights Search, then sends them to Bing results. Use it when you would rather show how to search than answer the same question again.

When it helps

• Someone keeps asking you to look things up that Bing can find in seconds
• You want one link that shows where to type and which button to press
• Chat is easier with a playable search walkthrough than a long written explanation
• Chinese and English UI copy follows the site language

How to create a link

1. Type the question or keywords in the search box.
2. Click Search. The page builds a link on the current tool URL with the query encoded in the address.
3. Use Copy to send it, or Preview to watch the animation yourself first.

The link carries the encoded query. Anyone who opens that same address sees the walkthrough for that text, then lands on Bing with the same keywords.

What the recipient sees

1. A prompt to find and select the input, with an arrow moving to the search box.
2. A prompt to enter the question while the box fills in character by character.
3. A prompt to press Search, with the arrow moving to the button.
4. A redirect to Bing: cn.bing.com when the page is in Chinese, otherwise www.bing.com, using the same query.

Notes

Preview once so the keywords and destination look right before you share. After copying, the hint area confirms success. This page only demonstrates starting a Bing search. It does not change Bing ranking and does not keep a search history.

FAQ

Q: How is this different from sending a Bing results URL?

A: A results URL skips the steps. This link first shows the box, the typing, and the button, then opens Bing. The point is how to search, not only what came back.

Q: Does it work on a phone?

A: Yes. On a small screen the field and button stack vertically. The animation still points to both, then continues to Bing.

Q: Which Bing site does it open?

A: It follows the page language: cn.bing.com for Chinese, www.bing.com otherwise, with the same query you entered.

Q: Do I need an account or an app?

A: No. Create the link in the browser. Recipients only need to open it.

Q: Can someone change what the link teaches?

A: The address encodes the original query. If they edit the URL, the walkthrough changes. Use Preview before you send it.
