Bored with words? Bing now lets you search using emoji

Now that you can communicate solely in emoji and even track your daily activities that way, it stands to reason that you should get to search the web using those tiny pictures, doesn't it? Microsoft certainly thinks so. Bing's search engine now understands emoji, saving you the (admittedly pretty minor) trouble of typing out whole words. It's not just about convenience, though. The search will help you understand emoji you don't understand, and you can find Easter eggs like the Konami code if you're imaginative. So long as you're in an English-speaking country, you can try this icon-driven search today.
