Bing fires at Google with new social search

Microsoft is launching a major overhaul of its also-ran search engine Bing on Thursday, aiming at a weakness it sees in market leader Google.The most prominent new element in Bing's redesign is "Sidebar," a social search feature that scours users' social networks to surface information relevant to their search queries.Like Google, Bing's Sidebar will display posts from people in your social networks who have recently discussed a topic related to what you just searched for. A search for "San Francisco restaurants" will return posts from your friends talking about good eats in the city.
