Microsoft has announced a few Copilot updates related to Bing and its generative search capabilities. Bing has stated that it will be extending its generative search experience for complex queries.

These new Bing updates will be focused on managing informational queries. Bing has also provided examples having to do with the user asking the search what measures they can take to remove the background noise from their podcast recordings. The generative AI will help users with a more detailed explanation. Complex problems can also be solved. All in all, this new update targets queries that go beyond 'surface-level results'.

Microsoft has also provided a short guide on how to use this new update. US users can type in Bing Genrative Search right into the search bar and queries will be presented for the users to choose from as a demo. The generative search capabilities can thus bring even more relevant and comprehensive answers that cover a wide range of topics.

Generative Search Capabilities: More on Bing generative search

Microsoft has explained that the Bing generative search experience blends both the foundation of search results from Bing with the power of LLMs and SLMs. It deeply understands the queries given by the users and reviews a multitude of sources. After reviewing multiple sources of information, Bing then matches the content and provides the search results in an AI layout to meet the needs of the users.

Bing has also stated that since this feature is in beta, users may have to go through longer loading times. The system may take more time to ensure complete accuracy with relevance which may increase in loading time. Bing's generative search results will also include proper citations and links to the original source that they pulled based their results on.
