Microsoft Bing appears to be selling TikTok video outcomes inside the Bing search outcomes. For those who do a seek for some movies, Bing may add a field on the left aspect by the video search outcomes field that claims “Brief movies of X” with a “from TikTok” button.
This was noticed by Frank Sandtmann who posted this GIF on Mastodon:
While you click on on the field it takes you into Bing Search video outcomes for a question [Videos from TikTok].
I can replicate this for a lot of video queries in Bing search, so I do not assume this can be a take a look at.
I don’t know if there’s some form of paid placement for this or only a function the Bing search engineers discovered to be cool.
