Windows 7 –My idea

Webster said he initially came up with "Bang." The name had a few things going for it, he noted. "It's there, it's an exclamation point," he said. "It's the opposite of a question mark."

But somehow it didn't work as well when used as a verb.

"Oh, I banged it' is very different than 'I binged it'," he said.

In the end, he said, Bing proved to be a near-perfect choice, representing what he called "the sound of found."

"We really hit the jackpot with Bing," he said.
