About Bing Search
Bing Search is Microsoft's web search engine, relaunched in February 2023 with deep AI integration powered by OpenAI's GPT-4. Beyond traditional ranked web results, it offers an AI chat sidebar (Microsoft Copilot) that can answer questions conversationally, summarize pages, compare options, and generate content — all with cited sources. It includes image, video, news, shopping, and maps search. Bing also powers Image Creator (DALL-E-based text-to-image). It is free to use on web, mobile apps, and is deeply embedded in Microsoft Edge and Windows. Aimed at everyday consumers, researchers, and Microsoft ecosystem users.
