Bing gets in shape with search updates for exercise & healthy recipe related queries

Bing has added new search updates aimed at helping its health-conscious users.

Now when you search for “workouts” or “exercises,” Bing will deliver carousel-styled search results with images that link to a wide variety of exercise options.

Filters within the carousel make it possible to narrow the search by gender, difficulty, target-area, type of exercise, or type of workout equipment.

Bing has added the same carousel results for yoga and pilates-specific searches, in addition to including how-to videos at the top of search results for a limited number of yoga poses.

The Bing App has new updates as well, focused on healthy recipe related searches. Queries for search terms like “Low-fat recipes” and “Low-fat stew recipes” will return a carousel of results where users can drill down via a ‘Nutrients’ tab to see calorie-counts, carbs, fat content and more for food items.

Users can also find calorie counts by searching “calories in a cup of” and adding a food item to the search term, i.e. “calories in a cup of couscous” will give you the following results:

Searches for “Foods rich in iron” and “Foods rich in calcium” will offer a selection of food options in the same carousel-styled results:

Bing says food search experiences on its app are now “even richer” – offering quick ways to find recipe preparation times, calorie counts and more for some of the most popular recipe searches.
