1 00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:05,450 In this lecture, I would like to show you how you can use Bing search engine to search for people. 2 00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:11,300 Now, as I've said before, using different search engines might help you to find more information. 3 00:00:11,660 --> 00:00:17,840 So you might find a search result on Bing that you were not able to find on Google or Yandex. 4 00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:24,410 In addition to that, Bing has some exclusive search operators that Google and Yandex does not have, 5 00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:28,010 which I will cover in this lecture and in the next lecture. 6 00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:31,670 But for now, we are going to search for Rishi Kabra on Bing. 7 00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:37,070 So the first thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to search for Rishi Kabra and put the name within 8 00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:38,300 two quotation marks. 9 00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:42,260 And as you can see, we were able to get 59,000 search results. 10 00:00:42,260 --> 00:00:46,310 So if I scroll down a little bit I can see Rishi Kabra profile picture. 11 00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:54,140 I'm going to click on it and we can see that this is a SoundCloud account and it was created or appeared 12 00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:55,760 on 2017. 13 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,170 I'm going to open this profile and see what information I can get. 14 00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:07,090 We can read his name, we can see that he's from India and we can see that he was in Hyderabad. 15 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,380 Another thing that we can look at is his social media profiles. 16 00:01:11,410 --> 00:01:18,250 Now we already have his LinkedIn account and Facebook account, but we do not have his Instagram account. 17 00:01:18,250 --> 00:01:24,100 So I'm going to open his Instagram account and we will see that this page is not available anymore. 18 00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:31,060 So he had an Instagram account with the same username that he used on github.com, but I'm going to 19 00:01:31,090 --> 00:01:33,670 copy the URL and put it in my notes. 20 00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:36,190 So I'm going to add the link in here. 21 00:01:36,190 --> 00:01:41,410 And I'm also going to add his SoundCloud URL as well. 22 00:01:41,410 --> 00:01:43,930 And so far we have all of these accounts. 23 00:01:43,930 --> 00:01:48,310 And we have just performed a regular Google and Bing search. 24 00:01:48,340 --> 00:01:54,160 Now, since we know that he is living in Kolkata, I can also search for the keyword or the search term 25 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:54,910 Kolkata. 26 00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:56,860 And now we have less search results. 27 00:01:56,860 --> 00:01:59,620 When we use Google we got way less search results. 28 00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:01,630 But this is okay for now. 29 00:02:01,660 --> 00:02:08,260 We can obviously scroll down and we can see the document that we were able to see before, and we can 30 00:02:08,260 --> 00:02:14,190 see that his name were also mentioned on this website that I didn't find on Google, and if I went to. 31 00:02:14,220 --> 00:02:17,730 The second page I can see some more search results. 32 00:02:17,730 --> 00:02:18,840 You can see that the. 33 00:02:18,870 --> 00:02:23,010 Third page contains search results from this website. 34 00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:24,000 So what I would like to. 35 00:02:24,030 --> 00:02:28,020 Do is to exclude this search result from appearing on the search engine. 36 00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:28,860 So if I. 37 00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:35,040 Say minus and then the domain name and then hit enter, you will see that we will get more search results. 38 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,180 And this is why I don't like to start using Bing. 39 00:02:39,210 --> 00:02:41,130 It is important to use it. 40 00:02:41,130 --> 00:02:48,210 But I think that Google is the best to start and then go to the other search engines to find any additional 41 00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:49,260 information. 42 00:02:49,710 --> 00:02:56,430 Sometimes when you add additional search operators for some reason, Bing will show you more search 43 00:02:56,430 --> 00:02:57,270 results. 44 00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:02,460 Now another thing that I would like to show you is cached pages. 45 00:03:02,460 --> 00:03:07,260 So I'm going to scroll down and you can see that we have a link in here. 46 00:03:07,260 --> 00:03:10,410 And when you find these three dots you can click on it. 47 00:03:10,410 --> 00:03:16,090 And then you will see that you can click on cached, which means that Bing has cached Cashed or has 48 00:03:16,090 --> 00:03:18,160 a saved copy of this page. 49 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,070 So I'm going to open the cached version. 50 00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:25,600 And you can see that this page appeared on 25th February 2024. 51 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,110 And this is an account from Kolkata, India. 52 00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:35,620 And obviously we do not know whether this is the Rishi you are looking for or somebody else, but we 53 00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:39,880 know that he is a student at that time and he is a web developer. 54 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,310 Coming back to the search results. 55 00:03:42,340 --> 00:03:49,780 Now, what I like to do is when I use Google to find information about a company or a person, and I 56 00:03:49,780 --> 00:03:57,940 find a page that is not saved on Google servers and is not cached on Google, I can copy the title of 57 00:03:57,940 --> 00:04:02,260 the page or the URL and then put it in Yandex and Bing. 58 00:04:02,260 --> 00:04:08,170 And sometimes you will find cached versions of this page on Bing or Yandex. 59 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:14,050 Next, I would like to show you a search operator called location or LLC. 60 00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:20,290 Now this search operator will help you find web pages from a specific country or region. 61 00:04:20,290 --> 00:04:25,800 For example, if you are searching for someone who is living in India, then you can limit your search 62 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,250 results to display only search results from India. 63 00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:31,170 And this is very helpful. 64 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,540 Now let me show you an example. 65 00:04:33,570 --> 00:04:38,760 Here I'm searching for Rishi Kabra and I'm going to specify the country to be India. 66 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,940 So in is for India I'm going to hit enter. 67 00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:45,240 And now we can see only search results from India. 68 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,390 So first of all we have the document that we found before. 69 00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:54,450 And you can see that the domain name is I n which is an Indian top level domain. 70 00:04:54,450 --> 00:04:58,740 And here as well and here and here. 71 00:04:58,740 --> 00:05:03,720 So these are all Indian websites that ends with I n. 72 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,660 And sometimes you will find reviews, you might find restaurants or hotels etc.. 73 00:05:10,170 --> 00:05:16,860 Now if you go to the URL that is attached to this lecture you will find the languages that are supported 74 00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:17,640 by Bing. 75 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,910 Now we can see that India is not in here, but for some reason when I search for India I get a search 76 00:05:23,910 --> 00:05:24,660 result. 77 00:05:24,690 --> 00:05:30,770 Next I would like to show you the language search operator, which will return search results in a preferred 78 00:05:30,770 --> 00:05:32,510 or a specific language. 79 00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:39,710 So if I am searching for reishi cobra and I use the language search operator and then I end to specify 80 00:05:39,710 --> 00:05:43,490 an Indian language, we will see that we will get no search results. 81 00:05:43,490 --> 00:05:50,570 But if I specified another language, for example n for English, then I might get some search results, 82 00:05:50,570 --> 00:05:51,590 as you can see. 83 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:55,010 So now all the search results are in English. 84 00:05:55,010 --> 00:06:00,500 So to show you a realistic example, I'm going to say Satyaraj. 85 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:07,400 And since I am living in Germany, I'm going to use the E to display search results in German. 86 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,560 So here we have got 20 search results. 87 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,310 This is a description of my LinkedIn account. 88 00:06:13,310 --> 00:06:14,750 That's why it's not in German. 89 00:06:14,750 --> 00:06:19,820 But if I scroll down a little bit, you will see here that this is in German. 90 00:06:19,820 --> 00:06:20,930 This as well. 91 00:06:20,930 --> 00:06:25,010 For some reason this is not in German, this is also in German. 92 00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:27,290 And all the other search results. 93 00:06:27,290 --> 00:06:30,680 You can see that the description all written in German.
