Bing is testing a new “favorites” feature that lets users bookmark images when signed into their Bing accounts on a desktop.

According to the announcement, as long as images are available on the web users will be able to save them to favorites.

[pullquote]Your Favorites are organized by your searches, and you can view them by clicking on “Images” in the top navigation bar.[/pullquote]

To use, select the image you want to save from Bing’s image search results page, and then click the small heart-shaped “favorites” icon in the bottom right corner below the image. Once saved, the heart will go from white to yellow.

The announcement was part of a “Roundup” post today on Bing’s Search blog, following news about Microsoft’s continued efforts to position Cortana as a lifestyle companion.
