Bing has announced that it’s using your search history in its auto-suggest feature. In a post on its Search Blog, Bing says that “44% of non-navigational search sessions last longer than 1 week,” meaning the inclusion of previous searches in auto-suggest adds to the convenience factor of searching similar topics/queries over time.

Queries from your search history will appear in purple, while other queries will show in blue. The auto-suggest box offers options like “Manage History” and “History Off” for searchers who don’t this feature enabled.
