Microsoft’s search engine Bing announced support for emoji, enabling users to type in the special characters into mobile or desktop search and receive results based on their meaning.<\/p>\n

Bing says the feature, which will be available in English markets, is a way for users to “search the same way you communicate every day.”<\/p>\n

The search engine will offer up definitions for some of the more puzzling emoji. It can even combine different emoji, or words and emoji to provide search results.<\/p>\n

Vanity Fair<\/em> spoke with Craig Beilinson, Microsoft\u2019s director of marketing communications, who explained why the company wanted Bing to offer support for the ubiquitous emoticons.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust like I would text my friends if they wanted to go out for sushi, now I can search Bing using the emoji on my phone instead of typing \u2018sushi\u2019 and still find a great place to eat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s actually any faster than just typing the words \u201csushi restaurants nearby\u201d depends on how well you know your emoji keyboard, usually available on mobile.<\/p>\n
