In this article, i will examined how to integrate Microsoft Bing Search engine on your site. First, you would have to get APPID from Microsoft site. Here is a link.
In next step, in your project add the following web reference.
http://api.search.live.net/search.wsdl?AppID=YourAppId
Here is code snippets to make a call in c#.
1: LiveSearchService service = new LiveSearchService();
2: SearchRequest request = new SearchRequest();
3:
4: request.AppId = "YOUR APPID";
5: request.Query = Keyword.Text;
6:
7: request.Sources = new SourceType[] { SourceType.Web };
8:
9: SearchResponse response = service.Search(request);
10:
11: StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
12:
13: foreach (WebResult result in response.Web.Results)
14: {
15: sb.AppendFormat("<a href=\"{0}\">{1}</a>", result.Url, result.Title);
16: sb.AppendFormat("<br />{0}<br />", result.Description);
17: }
18:
19: Result.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(sb.ToString()));
Here is our ASPX Code.
