Microsoft’s Bing AI search mode is lurking
Microsoft is stepping into the AI search ring, challenging Google’s recently launched AI Search mode. The company has quietly introduced a new “Copilot Search” option for its Bing search engine, now accessible across all platforms.
To access Copilot Search, either visit Bing Search in any web browser or use the shortcut: bing.com/copilotsearch?q=[QUERY].It’s also available in the Edge browser on both mobile and desktop.
When using Bing Search, a “SEARCH” option now appears in the top menu bar alongside the Copilot icon. Tapping it carries your query over and initiates an AI-powered search.
If Copilot Search isn’t visible on the desktop version, click the three-dot menu button under the text box and select “Copilot Search.”
Copilot Search provides answers in paragraphs or numbered lists, depending on the query. Each paragraph includes a hyperlink to the source material.
Similar to Google’s AI mode, Copilot Search lists all sources in a sliding card carousel at the bottom of the AI-generated answer.
