Microsoft announced a number of updates to Copilot today, specific to Bing Search, its generative search experience and Deep Search features are expanding more with this news.
Generative search. Bing said it is now expanding its Bing generative search experience for “informational queries”, such as how-to queries. Some examples include “how to effectively run a one on one” and “how can I remove background noise from my podcast recordings.”
“Whether you’re looking for a detailed explanation, solving a complex problem, or doing deep research, generative AI helps deliver a more profound level of answers that goes beyond surface-level results,” Microsoft wrote.
How to try it. Microsoft said, go to Bing in the United States and type “Bing generative search” into the search bar. “You’ll be met with a carousel of queries to select and demo, allowing you to experience how generative search can deliver more relevant and comprehensive answers for a wide range of topics,” Microsoft added.
What it looks like. Here is a screenshot:
What is Bing generative search. Microsoft explained that this search “experience combines the foundation of Bing’s search results with the power of large and small language models (LLMs and SLMs).” “It understands the search query, reviews millions of sources of information, dynamically matches content, and generates search results in a new AI-generated layout to fulfill the intent of the user’s query more effectively,” Microsoft added.
