Microsoft Unveils Bing’s Copilot Search: The Race Against Google Intensifies

Microsoft has introduced 'Copilot Search' on Bing, a new feature that provides focused search results using generative AI. This mode hides the typical blue links and displays an AI-generated summary of the query along with a list of sources from the web. The feature was first tested in late February and is now being widely rolled out, appearing as the first search filter in Bing’s UI. Microsoft emphasized its commitment to experimenting and iterating with generative search. This move comes as Google prepares to launch its own 'AI Mode' for Search, which was announced in early March and is currently being tested with some users.
