Facebook and Microsoft’s relationship status? You can say “It’s Complicated.”
The social network said it is no longer relying on Bing for Web search results, ending a four-year online relationship with Microsoft’s search engine. Microsoft still owns a tiny but valuable stake in Facebook.
“We’re not currently showing web search results in Facebook Search because we’re focused on helping people find what’s been shared with them on Facebook,” a Facebook spokesman said in a statement.
