Bing Desktop Gets Inline Search, Updated Apps & Facebook Notifications
Bing Desktop launched a number of features today, including inline search capabilities, a new weather app, updated news apps, and Facebook notifications.
Bing’s new inline search allows users to search directly from a webpage, word document or PDF file without having to open a Web browser. After highlighting a word or phrase, a user can click the Bing icon to receive search result previews in a separate window.

One final update includes Facebook notifications now being pushed out to Bing Desktop so that users automatically know when there is activity on their Facebook page.
Bing reports that the Bing Desktop has been downloaded by more than 10 million people.
