How are Web Results sorted in Bing Search

Question

Hi, 

we would like to use the Bing Web Search API in Azure Datamarket. The Usecase would be to frequently get new search results and only new ones. Our understanding is, that there is no sorting filter that allows for displaying results in a date order. The question would be how are results sorted at the moment. Is there a way of getting newly added results without querieing all results and compare them to the former results?

Regards,
Philipp

Hi,

As I know, only news and video search can be sorted by date. You can append querystring to the service url like this: ...&NewsSortBy='Date'
