Windows 8 comes with Internet Explore 10 as the default web browser and a Bing tile prominently displayed on the Start screen. Google Wants to change that.With Windows 8 officially hitting the shelves this past Friday, Microsoft will regain some significant ground on the ongoing search/browser battle. And they are doing it through a tried and true method: by default. When Windows 8 users first install the latest Microsoft operating system, the environment will be pre-loaded with Internet Explorer 10 and Bing tiles prominently ensconced on the Start screen. The Bing tile on the Start screen is particularly inviting, providing a virtual window to Bing’s signature breathtaking picture of the day. And Internet Explorer, of course, is the default browser for all web pages found through the search.Google’s answer to that usage share grab? On the same day that Windows 8 was released to the public, the search giant posted an invitation on the official Google Blog for all Windows 8 users to “Get Your Google Back.” The process for doing so is easy as pie, thanks to a simple guided tutorial found at GetYourGoogleBack.com, but Google’s accompanying video is still worth a watch, even if only for the groovy tunes.Relinquishing a fresh Windows 8 machine from the grip of Internet Explorer and Bing takes two steps:Step 1 of the Get Your Google Back site is to visit the Windows Store to grab the official Google Search app. The Google Search app for Windows 8 adapts to the touch-friendly “Metro” environment, with features built for swiping, such as the image search and image preview. The Start screen tile for the Google Search app strives be equally as eye-catching as Bing’s by displaying the Google doodle of the day (doodles, in case you haven’t been to the Google homepage in the past few years, are playful riffs on the Google logo, which are typically commemorative, tongue-in-cheek or both).Step 2 is to download Google Chrome and make it the default web browser in Windows 8. Similar to the Google Search app, Google Chrome also has some improvements designed for Windows 8, including larger buttons and “the ability to keep Chrome open next to your other favorite apps.” (This second benefit sounds like the built-in docking feature for Windows 8, but it’s possible that Google has further optimized Chrome for side-by-side multitasking.) After completing the above two steps, the Windows Start screen will prominently feature a Google logo in the upper-left and a Chrome tile just beneath it. And somewhere, in some distant data center, an analytics bot starts ticking up points for Team Google.Google/Chome vs. Bing/Internet Explorer: A Strategic Browser BattleThe Get Your Google Back campaign comes off as lighthearted and unassuming, which is fitting for the company that still bears “Don’t be evil” as its unofficial motto. But don’t be mistaken: this is serious business. Google is making a calculated foray into Windows 8 territory to bird-dog longtime users getting their first taste of Microsoft’s new and improved search and web

Bing search for Windows 8.1(later also for windows 8) is a real smart thing among all other comprehensive changes, Windows made possible for their new visually rich gen next operating system. It’s really an experience that everyone should test whether you are a finger happy tab owner or a mouse happy desktop owner.Search From AnywhereBeing a search engine Bing has done a fine job this far. Now, with Windows 8.1, Bing has really changed the whole experience. Users can now start searching right from the much hyped metro start screen. I know, You will be asking, is that a big deal?Yes. It’s a big deal. The question is not about where are you searching. It’s all about the search result. We used to search our files, locally, on our desktop or laptop and at the same time we search things on the web through a browser. We know that, these are same on basic principle but different on their searching region. First search result is local and the later is global.Bing search for windows 8.1 bridge this gap. Simply, search anything from anywhere. Everything is global now. How?Simply, log in to your windows 8.1 account and press ‘‘ button to launch the metro start screen or ‘+S’ ( keyboard short-cut for search) for calling the search window. On the search window or on the metro start screen just start writing your search query as you normally do on a browser. Bing will bring you a search result containing everything from the web, your local hard drives, apps and also from your One drive cloud storage account on that search query, thankfully, all in one place. Added to this, results will be grouped by category and by where they’re from. Smart. Right?I own a laptop that runs on Windows 8.1 and I have tried searching ‘Google office’. The search suggestions are from web and it also shows that there are no files on my local hard drive on this keyword. You are getting web results on the metro start screen without even opening a browser. This saves you a sizeable amount of searching time and some needless clicks.Windows 8- Everything is VisualIf anything is unknown to us, we Google it. Right? Lets, Bing it. Forget those text only search results. Bing offers us its search results on a pallet of colours. There is an old saying, a picture says a thousand
