Microsoft Copilot Search
Microsoft Copilot Search in Bing combines conventional web search with generated responses for information discovery. Depending on the query, it may show a direct answer, a summary of key points, or a structured presentation. Responses cite sources and provide links to material used for the answer. Results are grounded in Bing and in additional searches made for the query. Users can enter complex questions or ask follow-ups, while related-topic suggestions support continued exploration and keep earlier results available on the same page. Related image and video results are included. Copilot Search is available on the web and through the Bing mobile app for Android and iOS. Microsoft presents it for quick discovery, deeper research, and learning through follow-up questions. The listed plan costs nothing. Availability is stated as worldwide except Russia and China, although functionality may differ by device type, market, or browser version. Microsoft Corporation is the maker.
