We have more broadly incorporated Microsoft Bing into our results, using a unique solution specifically fitted to our privacy promise. Our collaboration with Microsoft also has enabled us to provide a superior mobile experience. You will see benefits like better search suggestions, fewer ads, and greatly improved similar image results, among others.

It also pulls up the first Wikipedia article it can find in the first page and displays it as a little widget on the side even if it's far from relevant.
