Which company operates the search engine Bing?

Microsoft operates the search engine Bing.

Microsoft launched Bing in June 2009 as the successor to earlier search products including Live Search. Bing provides web search, image search, video search, maps, news, and other information services.

Microsoft’s search history goes back before Bing: the company introduced MSN Search in 1998 and later used the Windows Live Search name. The Bing brand replaced those earlier names and became Microsoft’s principal general-purpose search service.

Bing is often confused with Google because both are general web search engines, but they are operated by different companies. Microsoft also uses Bing technology in some products and services, including features connected with its artificial-intelligence offerings.
