Here is another batch of Microsoft Bing Search tests and features that were caught out in the wild that I wanted to share with you. They include sorting, filtering, carousels, animations, related content and maybe even some bugs?
(1) Sorting results by more parameters:
Bing test search filter to sort results by time period at the bottom of the search result.

Anyone else notice the @bing mouse logger script running on their search results? @facan it seems to be running and collecting data even if you don't accept Microsoft's privacy policy... @BingWMC is the data going to you? pic.twitter.com/3zuPeMnQIS
