I zoomed to Houston and typed "WALMART" into the Bing search and got 0 results. The only thing that I could get it to find was a specific city or address that I typed into the search box. Did Microsoft change its options so that it is no longer returning searches for business points?

Wish I could help, but I'm still only able to get 100 max results from the Bing toolbar. I don't think there's a setting that I can change to get more results. I'm guessing its something on Bing's side.

Susan,

I suspect it was a temporary glitch on the Bing/Microsoft side.  I just tested zooming to Houston and typing Walmart in the Bing tool and was able to create a 73 record point layer.

John,

Our documentation claims that 250 is the maximum number of business that Bing can return though I am not certain that is accurate.  I will do some investigating on this issue.
