Introducing PoshBing – The PowerShell library for Microsoft’s Bing Search Engine
Microsoft released their new search engine called “Bing” at, aptly named, http://www.bing.com.

The Bing API has the concept of “SourceTypes” which are essentially data sources that you can search into. My script library provides access to the Image, InstantAnswer, News, MobileWeb, Phonebook, RelatedSearch, Spell, Web, Translation, and Video SourceTypes with the following functions:
Get-BingImage – Search the Image SourceType for a list of images including properties about the media files. Get-BingInstantAnswer – Get single, authoritative answers to questions. Get-BingNews – Provide news specific to a topic, a location, or breaking news. Get-BingMobileWeb – Returns mobile web results, primarily relevant XHTML or WML pages. Get-BingPhonebook – Enables you to view details about a business for which you are searching as if they were a phonebook entry. Get-BingRelatedSearch – View searches that provide information in which you might be interested, based on your current search. Get-BingSpell – Query alternative spellings for a given word or phrase. Get-BingWeb – Get pages relevant to the queried terms. Get-BingTranslation – Translate a term from one language to another. Get-BingVideo – return a list of videos and their properties relevant to the query terms.
