Microsoft has made changes to Bing's Shopping search engine designed to accelerate and simplify the product-finding process.

Bing Shopping's filter options to narrow results according to criteria like product category, brand and style, which previously were only displayed on the results page, will now also appear on the fly in a drop-down list below the search box as people type in queries.

Microsoft expects that these changes will help shoppers refine their searches more quickly, even before they execute the query and are taken to the results page, the company said on Monday.
