For any given search, Bing suggests a list of friends who “might know” about that topic, but only by superficially scanning for “Likes,” places of residence and mentions of the keywords you're searching for. I wish Bing drilled a bit deeper, and took a more holistic view of my friends' interests.

For example, if I search for “Cincinnati chili,” I don't need a list of everyone who ever lived in Cincinnati. I need to know who on my friends list is the resident foodie, and has at least visited the city.

Fortunately, you can also post questions seen by all your Facebook friends, so the right person might answer on his or her own. You can also include links to pages that appear in search results by clicking on the link icons next to each result.
