Image Recognition
Users, including in the United Kingdom, Germany and Singapore, reported Friday that when they performed the search Bing returned the message: "There are no results for tank man." Hours after Microsoft acknowledged the issue, the "tank man" search returned only pictures of tanks elsewhere in the world. "Tank man" is often used to describe an unidentified person famously pictured standing before tanks in China's Tiananmen Square during pro-democracy demonstrations in June 1989. Smaller search engines such as DuckDuckGo that license results from Microsoft faced similar issues around "tank man" searches and said they expected a fix soon. Rival Google showed many results for the famous image when the "tank man" search was performed on Friday.
