If you want to visually search through top iPhone apps, or recently released iPhone apps Microsoft has now added this in their Bing search engine. It’s currently in beta, but you can see it in action at Bing.com/visualsearch. It’s really fun to browse for iPhone apps using Bing!
With Bing’s visual search you can narrow your search by Publishers, Category, or Price (highest/lowest). Hovering over an iPhone app shows the app’s company, price, category, ranking, and release date. Clicking on an iPhone app icon takes you to search results for the app on Bing instead of launching the app in iTunes.
I found this Bing visual search for iPhone apps really useful. I can easily search for reviews of each iPhone application and filter my searches. It would be great if Bing also added the iTunes link to the iPhone applications rather than having us search Bing to get the iTunes links. What do you think about this search? Will you be using it to search for future iPhone apps or will you just stick to using iTunes?

do you know what BING stands for because it not google
This is Microsoft’s way to stick it to Apple, showing them the technology that’ll be used in their Own Ms app store…so I will pass. Microsoft has alterior motives here….I will not support them in anyway if possible.
Really I don’t see the use in using BING…or google to search for apps, that is why you have the app store and iTunes…I’m sorry this post is irrelevant
You can search for blogs with reviews of each app rather than having to rely on the iTunes reviews which aren’t really helpful.
Except search for apps in the store is an exercise in frustration, there is absolutely 0 advanced search options. This might be better.
Paul has a point here, i face the similar prob.
But still, MS is playing a dirty trick here!
its good to finally see some competition starting to make its way up in this category…
Pretty sneaky way for Microsoft to get people to install Silverlight!
