Sorting out Quality Information
In the era of abundant information, sorting out quality information is very important. Here are some tips to help you:
- Always check the credibility of the website. Trusted sources usually have a .edu, .gov, or reputable news site domain.
- If available, read reviews or comments from other users to get additional perspective on specific information or products.
- Don’t rely on just one source. Compare information from multiple sites to ensure accuracy and objectivity.

Explore the Search tab (Images, Videos, News)
Bing Search offers a variety of search tabs that allow users to find information more specifically. Here’s how to explore each tab:
- Image Tab: When you search for an image, click on the Image tab to see all relevant results in a visual format. It is very useful for finding photos, infographics, and illustrations.
- Video tab: If you’re looking for video content, select the Videos tab. Bing will display video footage from a variety of sources, allowing you to watch live or visit the provider’s site.
- News tab: To get the most up-to-date information, use the News tab. The results here will show you the latest articles from various news sources regarding the topic you are looking for.
Strategy for Finding the Right Information
To get more precise search results on Bing, consider the following strategies:
- Including more focused and specific keywords will help narrow down search results. For example, type “houseplant care tips” instead of just “plants”.
- Bing supports search operators such as AND, OR, and NOT. For example, if you’re looking for information about “cats” but not about “dogs,” you could type “cats NOT dogs.”
- Once you’ve got your search results, use the filters available to filter by date, location, or content type (such as images or videos).
- Be careful of the top results that are often ads, which are usually marked as “ads” or sponsored ads.
Avoiding the Ad Trap in Search
Ads often appear in search results and can interfere with the user experience. Here are some tips to avoid ad traps:
- Familiarize yourself with the appearance of ads on Bing. Ads are usually marked with an “Ads” label on them. Focus on results that aren’t labeled ads for more objective information.
- Always check the credibility of a source before trusting information. Official websites or reputable news sources are usually more reliable compared to lesser-known sites.
- Consider using an ad-blocking extension on your browser to reduce the number of ads that appear when searching.
- To block ads on web pages, you can install the Adblock Plus app from the Microsoft Store.
