Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API Pros and Cons

I like how verstaile it is with the involvement of Bing AI and type-ahead accuracy it brings along with this API. I personally felt it work better from the APIs porvided by google, bloomreach etc and the addition of shortcut taskbar works great for any application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to lack of developer guide, which is present for the bloomreach api, it is probably time-consuming and tedious to learn how to implement it, but once done, works way more efficient than other APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API is an excellent tool especially for our technological age.

A taskbar shortcut to speed up and better access searches.

I liked its high learning intelligence and the many words it could suggest to me. The more you use Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API, better accuracy and efficiency of that accrued. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In fact, despite the usefulness of Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API , it is still difficult to get used to its constant use.

Sometimes, where there is a need for autosuggestion, no results is given or the wrong words and phrases are presented, which reduces the reliance on it and the user prefers to continue using his words.

Limited language support is another area that needs to be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is relevant, efficient, and time saving. There are a number of suggestions depending on what the searcher is searching for, such as roads, streets, addresses when searching maps or if searching for words in MS Docs there are a list of suggested words that might work for the author. There are geographic locations, business locations and suggested addresses, and various places that would work in the search. I use the Autosuggest for my searches especially if I am not sure of the spelling or even the name such as a song, I can use common lyrics that will reveal in Autosuggest a list of songs that contain those words. This expedites the search saving many frustrating minutes racking one's brain for the exact title or exact lyrics. The same is true for books, movies, videos, or news.

First, I did not like Autosuggest because more times than not the suggestions did not fit what I was searching for. Then I became more experienced in using this helper, I used specific searches, advising what I was searching for such as names, locations, map addresses distances between locations, title of books, news casts regarding specific events such as floods, fires, air crashes, etc. I found that the Autosuggest really was sensitive to my queries, that there was a certain intelligence at work in the software. Now I use it most times because I use Bing most often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bing Autosuggest API lets you send a partial search query term to Bing and get back a list of suggested queries that other users have searched on. If this is something you need, it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was lost at first, but there are a lot of tutorials and short help guides that make it easy to figure out if this is something you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is ideal for making text fields with autocomplete by making a query directly from bing. The results are in JSON format so it can be used with any programming language that supports JSON. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not find any negative aspect for the moment, except that the free version is only 7 days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because I do so much researching, with partial information only, Bing Autosuggest API is great for helping me to create better searches based on that limited input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because so many of my searches are person oriented it can still sometimes be too broad in it's results but by using the tips sheets online and online communities I have become more effective using the tool. I will say that if you aren't learning how to use the tool via tutorials you are going to take a lot more time to do the same work that you could do grinding through searches without the tool.

I like the response time that the API returns. It returns some very relevant items in the search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the results are not quite what you would expect. It seems to have problems with dashes and special characters sometimes, but those kind of searches would be few and far between. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It did save some time when I was willing to utilize the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting used to actually using the Autosuggest API tool was not worth the small time savings. The suggestions were not terribly accurate, either. I have tested the Google feature as well and I rarely used that, as the suggestions were close but not exactly what I wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
