    Where can I find some basic how-to information that explains how the Bing Search API is set up and used? I trying to see if we set it up on our web servers or if we have to access the api from Bings servers or what have you. Can anyone direct me to some basic info like this?

    many thanks,

    Max, I tried to reply by clicking the reply link in your response but it wouldn't work. Anyway, thanks for the assistance. A couple of questions:

    1. As I understand it, I embed code in my web site that sends a query to the Bing API which then ...what(?) ...scans my site(s) looking for the queried information? The information it finds is then sent back to the user? Is that a correct scenerio?

    2. Sorry, that was 4 questions in one. Last question...is the price listed per website or can it be applied to multiple websites? I see for instance a price of $40/20,000 queries, would that be applicable to multiple websites or just one?

    Many thanks,

    Rich

    Hi Rich,

    Yes, html tagging broke the previous post.

    1. Bing scans your site and has the information in Search Index. You send Search query and scope it to your site, and get results which relate to your site pages/objects.

    2. The price can be applied to multiple websites indeed.

    Thanks,

    Max

    Thanks Max, do you know if it does cross-domain searches? I'm also presuming that I would want to use the Bing search api rather then the web only api due to the fact that we have a lot of different content (text, video, pdf, pods, etc) on our sites.

    One last question...we do a lot advertising on our sites. Is there any kind of problem with this as far as Bing is concerned?

    Not likely... here's the document describing Bing attribution guidelines:

    In 1. How do you scope the results to your site?
