Définitions des termes
1. user experience. User Experience (UX) is a broad term that encompasses every aspect of an end-user's interaction with a company, its services, or its products. This includes users' perceptions and responses, both emotional and cognitive, during and after the use of a system, product, or service. User Experience also involves users' beliefs, preferences, and behaviors. While usability, a component of UX, focuses on the practical aspects of a system, UX incorporates a holistic view of system use. User experience is a vital factor in increasing brand loyalty and customer base growth. Its history dates back to the Machine Age, with notable contributions from figures like Frederick Winslow Taylor, Henry Ford, and Donald Norman. Today, technology advancements continue to shape and expand the field.Developer Experience (DX) is the analog of UX for software developers. It represents the experience developers have with the tools, processes, and software they use in their work. A high-quality DX can significantly impact the overall user experience, thus contributing to the success of the product. The importance of DX is increasingly recognized in the field of software services, where ease of use can serve as a key market differentiator. This concept has been explored by various authors and researchers, and it's also emphasized in international standards like ISO 9241-210, which advocates for human-centered design.
2. moteur de recherche. Un moteur de recherche est un outil essentiel qui fait partie d'un système informatique distribué. Il s'agit d'un système logiciel qui répond aux requêtes des utilisateurs en fournissant une liste d'hyperliens, de résumés et d'images. Il utilise un système d'indexation complexe, qui est continuellement mis à jour par des robots d'indexation qui exploitent les données des serveurs web. Certains contenus restent toutefois inaccessibles à ces robots. La vitesse et l'efficacité d'un moteur de recherche dépendent fortement de son système d'indexation. Les utilisateurs interagissent avec les moteurs de recherche par l'intermédiaire d'un navigateur web ou d'une application, en saisissant des requêtes et en recevant des suggestions au fur et à mesure de la saisie. Les résultats peuvent être filtrés selon des types spécifiques et le système est accessible sur différents appareils. Cet outil est important car il permet aux utilisateurs de naviguer sur le vaste web, de trouver des contenus pertinents et de récupérer efficacement des informations.

The transition from Live Search to Bing was announced by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on May 28, 2009, at the All Things Digital conference in San Diego, California. The official release followed on June 3, 2009. Bing introduced several notable features at its inception, such as search suggestions during query input and a list of related searches, known as the 'Explore pane'. These features leveraged semantic technology de Powerset, a company Microsoft acquired in 2008. Microsoft also struck a deal with Yahoo ! that led to Bing powering Yahoo! Search.

Microsoft made significant strides towards open-source technology in 2016, making the BitFunnel search engine indexing algorithm and various components of Bing open source. In February 2023, Microsoft launched Bing Chat (later renamed Microsoft Copilot), an intelligence artificielle chatbot experience based on GPT-4, integrated directly into the search engine. This was well-received, with Bing reaching 100 million active users by the following month.

As of 2023, Bing holds the position of the second-largest search engine worldwide, commanding a query volume of 12%, trailing Google's 79%. Other competitors include Baidu with 5% and Yahoo! Search, which is largely powered by Bing, with 2%.
