Microsoft has introduced a new feature known as “Copilot Search” on Bing, aiming to enhance user experience by replacing traditional blue links with AI-generated summaries and relevant sources for search queries. This launch comes as Microsoft continues to be a key player in the competitive landscape of artificial intelligence, where it contends with other tech giants such as Google and OpenAI. The rivalry in AI has intensified, especially following Google’s recent introduction of Gemini 2.0, which includes an experimental feature called “AI Mode” for Search. However, Google has yet to make this feature available to all users, providing Microsoft with an opportunity to advance its offerings.

Reports indicate that “Copilot Search” began rolling out on Bing just over a month after Microsoft’s initial testing phases were reported. Copilot Search is designed with a unique user interface that eliminates the traditional blue links seen in typical search results. Instead, it provides an AI summary of the user’s query, accompanied by a list of relevant sources displayed directly beneath the summary. This innovative approach aims to streamline the search experience and make information more accessible.

Though Microsoft has stated that Copilot Search is being rolled out to all users, it appears that the availability is still limited, with many users finding the feature tucked away in additional menu options. This gradual rollout suggests that Microsoft is carefully managing its launch to ensure everything runs smoothly while striving to maintain a lead over Google in the AI domain. As the tech world watches closely, it remains to be seen when Google will publicly release its “AI Mode.”
