Microsoft’s Bing Introduces Copilot Search Feature to Compete with Google’s AI Search

Following Google’s recent introduction of an AI Search mode, Microsoft has stepped up its game by quietly rolling out a new Copilot Search option for its Bing search engine. 🚀 This feature, first identified by Windows Latest and confirmed by Digital Trends, is now accessible across all platforms.

To use the dedicated Copilot Search mode, users can visit Bing Search in any web browser or utilize the shortcut: bing.com/copilotsearch?q=(QUERY). It’s also readily available in the Edge browser on both mobile and desktop versions.

When performing a search on Bing, the top menu bar now includes a dedicated “SEARCH” option next to the Copilot icon, alongside “All” and “Image” options. Selecting this option automatically transfers your query to an AI search, generating responses in a format similar to AI chatbots.

For desktop users not seeing Copilot Search at the top, clicking the three-dot menu button under the text box and selecting “Copilot Search” from the drop-down menu will activate the feature.

Responses vary from detailed paragraphs to neatly organized bulleted lists, with hyperlinks embedded for source verification. A sliding card carousel at the bottom lists all sources, mirroring Google’s AI Search approach. While Copilot Search handles many queries accurately, users are advised to verify information with original sources due to occasional AI inaccuracies.
