What Microsoft said. Jordi Ribas, CVP, Head of Search at Microsoft, posted this news on X – he said, “After shipping in the US last year, multi-turn search in Bing is now available worldwide.”
Jordi Ribas added “Bing users don’t need to scroll up to do the next query, and the next turn will keep context when appropriate.”
“We have seen gains in engagement and sessions per user in our online metrics, which reflect the positive user value of this approach,” he added.
**Why we care. **Many search engines, like Google and Bing, are trying to get more users to use its AI engines. Google made AI Overviews flow more into AI Mode, despite how we may not like how it treats publishers. And now Bing fully rolled out, after testing it for several months, the Copilot search box at the footer of the search results.
