Microsoft is testing including the supply of the evaluations within the Bing Search native pack, as an alternative of displaying evaluation stars. So if the Bing Search native pack is displaying evaluations from Yelp, it could present the Yelp brand, and whether it is displaying them from Fb, it could present the Fb brand.

This was noticed by Frank Sandtmann who posted about it on Mastodon – he wrote, “Bing is testing displaying favicons for abbreviated evaluations as an alternative of simply spelling out the platforms and displaying pink stars. Would possibly assist to see the place evaluations are coming from extra shortly.”
Right here is my screenshot of the side-by-side:
Whereas my screenshot has the conventional coloured stars, Frank’s has the black stars take a look at we coated earlier.
Anyway, do you want that Bing is displaying the brand of the supply firm for the evaluations?
