Bing Search Problems- WP8.1

[Eric J F]

Lately when I first open Bing or Cortana for a search the 'Searching...' goes on indefinitely, or it takes a long time and when I click on the link a 'cannot open webpage' type message appears. If I re-enter the search term or back out of IE and try again the search shows immediate results with good links.

I know it's not my connection; when I go straight to Google there is no hang up.

I think this started with 8.1, but I only began using Bing recently, so I can't be sure.

Anyone else with this issue?

It must be a bug, since I've noticed this just started happening the past couple days, and it didn't happen previously. I've been running 8.1 Preview since its release date.

Still a problem after today's 8.10.1293.890 update.
