My thoughts on Bing Autosuggest API **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kunal P. | Project Intern, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** I like how verstaile it is with the involvement of Bing AI and type-ahead accuracy it brings along with this API. I personally felt it work better from the APIs porvided by google, bloomreach etc and the addition of shortcut taskbar works great for any application. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** Due to lack of developer guide, which is present for the bloomreach api, it is probably time-consuming and tedious to learn how to implement it, but once done, works way more efficient than other APIs. **What problems is Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have used this in my web application where it was implemented in mainly two sections - first the quick retrieval of queries from the chatbot which will include autosuggesting/autocompleting and second, the dropdown search bar where it helps in related search suggestions based on the previous/current search made. ### 2. Good but at the beginning of a long way **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** mehdi k. | Freelance Journalist, Copywriter, Content Writer and PR Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2020 **What do you like best about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API is an excellent tool especially for our technological age. A taskbar shortcut to speed up and better access searches. I liked its high learning intelligence and the many words it could suggest to me. The more you use Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API, better accuracy and efficiency of that accrued. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** In fact, despite the usefulness of Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API , it is still difficult to get used to its constant use. Sometimes, where there is a need for autosuggestion, no results is given or the wrong words and phrases are presented, which reduces the reliance on it and the user prefers to continue using his words. Limited language support is another area that needs to be improved. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API:** The service is free for 30 days i guess, after that period you must buy a plan of use. **What problems is Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API solving and how is that benefiting you?** After using this service for a long time, I got good results from it, especially in the field of content production. Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API really helped me save time and energy, although I was able to reach a relatively complete set of suitable autosuggested offers by using it continuously. ### 3. Autosuggest seemed like a pest. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patricia G. | Educator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** The software is relevant, efficient, and time saving. There are a number of suggestions depending on what the searcher is searching for, such as roads, streets, addresses when searching maps or if searching for words in MS Docs there are a list of suggested words that might work for the author. There are geographic locations, business locations and suggested addresses, and various places that would work in the search. I use the Autosuggest for my searches especially if I am not sure of the spelling or even the name such as a song, I can use common lyrics that will reveal in Autosuggest a list of songs that contain those words. This expedites the search saving many frustrating minutes racking one's brain for the exact title or exact lyrics. The same is true for books, movies, videos, or news. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** First, I did not like Autosuggest because more times than not the suggestions did not fit what I was searching for. Then I became more experienced in using this helper, I used specific searches, advising what I was searching for such as names, locations, map addresses distances between locations, title of books, news casts regarding specific events such as floods, fires, air crashes, etc. I found that the Autosuggest really was sensitive to my queries, that there was a certain intelligence at work in the software. Now I use it most times because I use Bing most often. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API:** Better quality in search suggestions as well as more relevant suggestions. **What problems is Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API solving and how is that benefiting you?** As an educator I use Microsoft Bing Autosuggest AP when developing lesson material that I want to deliver to my students so that I find information that is relevant to the curriculum that I am presenting, such as business classes, social studies classes, economic classes, or fundamentals of computers classes. Students want to apply what they are learning not just be receptors in acquiring lesson material. I find relevant material through Autosuggest that allows the student to apply the lesson, such as worksheets, real life problems that apply to their every day life, or world problems such as climate change or food shortages that have impact on their existence. Through Autosuggest I find lots of information that I possibly would miss without having any input on my searches, this applications enhances my ability to provide my students with effective, efficient, and relevant lesson support to improve their academic success. ### 4. Free Trial So Can't Go Wrong! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Celena J. | Publisher, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2019 **What do you like best about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** Bing Autosuggest API lets you send a partial search query term to Bing and get back a list of suggested queries that other users have searched on. If this is something you need, it's great. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** I was lost at first, but there are a lot of tutorials and short help guides that make it easy to figure out if this is something you need. **What problems is Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API solving and how is that benefiting you?** After the free trial, I realized we didn't really need Bing Autosuggest, which is why I especially like that they have a free 7-day trial, no strings attached (you don't have to input credit card info or anything). ### 5. Excellent for displaying bing search results. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abraham G. | Web Development Manager, Leisure, Travel & Tourism, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2019 **What do you like best about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** It is ideal for making text fields with autocomplete by making a query directly from bing. The results are in JSON format so it can be used with any programming language that supports JSON. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** I do not find any negative aspect for the moment, except that the free version is only 7 days. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API:** The service is free but only for 7 days, after that period you must buy a plan of use. **What problems is Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is an excellent tool, whose response capacity is very fast. It has extensive documentation and support from Microsoft, which gives a lot of confidence. ### 6. A great tool that needs just a little tweaking **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2019 **What do you like best about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** Because I do so much researching, with partial information only, Bing Autosuggest API is great for helping me to create better searches based on that limited input. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** Because so many of my searches are person oriented it can still sometimes be too broad in it's results but by using the tips sheets online and online communities I have become more effective using the tool. I will say that if you aren't learning how to use the tool via tutorials you are going to take a lot more time to do the same work that you could do grinding through searches without the tool. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API:** The greatest suggestion I would have is to look online for people who have set up similar searches and parameters and learn from their findings and implement them into your own day to day use of the product. **What problems is Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest thing that I have been able to do is better identify donors who we only have partial information for. So often in stewardship we don't get all the information, and Bing's API has allowed me to better research people and gifts that were previously unknown. ### 7. Very nice API tool to get auto-suggesting into your searches **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eddie D. | Senior Software Engineer at Syngenta Digital, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2019 **What do you like best about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** I like the response time that the API returns. It returns some very relevant items in the search. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** Sometimes the results are not quite what you would expect. It seems to have problems with dashes and special characters sometimes, but those kind of searches would be few and far between. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API:** Just go to the trial page at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/autosuggest/ and try out the free 7 day trial. **What problems is Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are testing it for searches that are relevant to chemical product lists. ### 8. Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API is not so Intelligent **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2019 **What do you like best about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** It did save some time when I was willing to utilize the tool. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API?** Getting used to actually using the Autosuggest API tool was not worth the small time savings. The suggestions were not terribly accurate, either. I have tested the Google feature as well and I rarely used that, as the suggestions were close but not exactly what I wanted. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API:** Don't waste the time or resources to getting this product. The AI is simply not where it needs to be to make a meaningful difference in your daily processes. **What problems is Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API solving and how is that benefiting you?** The Microsoft Bing Autosuggest API was implemented to accelerate business processes, but the results were dubious and met with varying levels of satisfaction (but generally negative). ### 9.
