Bing Deep Search now available for more users

Bing Deep Search now available for more users

Microsoft has announced that Bing Deep Search is now accessible to a larger number of users. This new feature, introduced in December 2023, promises to assist searchers with complex questions that do not have simple answers. This could signify a shift in search behavior and search results.

Innovation and Challenges of Bing Deep Search

The operation of Deep Search is based on Bing's web index and ranking system, supplemented by GPT-4. This system analyzes all possible intentions and variations behind a search query and creates descriptions for each of them to form an 'ideal result.' Deep Search displays results that typically do not appear in regular search results, with the primary ranking factor being the alignment with Bing's comprehensive description. Other relevant factors include topic congruence, level of detail, source reliability, timeliness, and page popularity.

One criticism is the speed; Deep Search is significantly slower than standard search results, with wait times sometimes reaching up to 30 seconds. This can be a stumbling block for many users who expect quick answers.

What does this mean for companies and organizations?

For businesses and organizations, the rollout of Bing Deep Search can have significant implications. While the feature can enhance the search experience by providing more relevant results for complex queries, delays in search results may lead to frustration among users.

One possible solution to this delay is optimizing website content to better align with the criteria that Deep Search employs, such as relevance, credibility, and timeliness. This can help increase the visibility of the website and maximize click opportunities.

However, given the current delays in generating search results, Bing Deep Search may pose a hurdle for many users. It is therefore essential to closely monitor the further development of this feature and consider alternative strategies to optimize online presence.
