...and this...

Phasing out the Bing Search API 1.1

"The considerable benefits that come from moving to the newer API include:

New SourceTypes

* RelatedSearch - view searches that provide information in which you might be interested, based on your current search
* Instant Answer - get authoritative answers to questions, such as "What is 789*12?", "How many seconds are in a year?" as well as airline flight status.
* MobileWeb - Get mobile Web search results - primarily Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) or Wireless Markup Language (WML) pages relevant to the queried term.
* Video - Get videos relevant to your search terms.
* Translation - Translate terms or small blocks of text from one language to another"

Hmm, wonder who's doing their video search for them (or is it in-house)?
