Bing’s Updated App Brings Awesome Lasso Search

Bing for the iPad has just updated to version 1.1, and has brought an intensely cool new feature: “Lasso” search. You can check it out on the video above, but if that won’t play on iOS (I’m pretty sure it’s a Flash only vid), then here’s how it works: you press the lasso icon on the top right corner. You circle a word of phrase. Bing searches for that word of phrase.

How freaking cool is that? It far and away beats Apple’s clunky selection mechanism.

Right, Apple, you happily steal other awesome ideas, right? Lets get this implemented for more apps! Maybe even systemwide!
