The BA Insight Bing News Connector for Search brings together organizational content and global online news from Bing News into a unified and holistic search experience for internal or external stakeholders. Bing News turns any app or website into a powerful news search resource, with world news grouped and filtered by topic, local news, and searchable metadata.
Using BA Insight’s SmartHub and the Bing News Federated Connector, organizations can combine results from internal applications with relevant news from global sites, all presented in a single set of interleaved search results. Users can define the country, category, and update frequency for news content to ensure information is always current and relevant.
Content remains at the source, meaning when users click a search result, they are taken directly to the original news article or organizational content. When combined with BA Insight’s extensive portfolio of connectors, this ensures comprehensive and contextual search coverage across 95+ sources seamlessly.
