- SSmart Search in Windows 8.1 (Blue)Smart Search is one of the neat innovation that enables a user to search the device and web in one go. It focuses on integrating Bing into Windows platform and the creation of a novel concept called 'Heroes' (which is a very rich presentation of well known entities Bing knows about). Hero experiences in smart search are very well received by the press and form a differentiated pivot when compared with search on any other device type.
- SSurfacing popular and trending domains in browser's auto suggestionThis feature (commonly referred to as Domain Suggestions) surfaces popular and trending domains in a IE searchbar's autosuggest and enables faster type completion.
