Microsoft has already updated its new search engine, Bing, to halt complaints from network administrators about the video clip preview feature. Built into the search engine to give it the edge over its competitors, the feature allows users to search for videos, hovering over the video to get a small preview of what the user can expect to see.
This has upset a lot of network administrators who want to block sexual content from being watched in the work place. Bing has been updated with stricter filter options that disable video previews, but as a temporary fix, Microsoft has released a string of code for administrators to enforce the strictest search settings.
Bing is Microsoft"s latest search engine which has some fairly amusing and catchy adverts associated with it. The search site came under fire earlier this week, being branded as a "porn portal" by some for how easy it is to acquire pornographic video. Microsoft also released some BingTones for use as mobile ringtones today.
A finalized update will be released shortly as Microsoft tackles the issue, but as for now the end user will not be able to search key words related to sexual content such as "porn", prompting the user with the warning "The search [porn] may return explicit adult content. To view these videos, turn off safe search."
