What is the best way to help make Bing become better and smarter?
- Jan 07, 2021
Hey HotCakeX, there are multiple factors that go into making Bing a better search engine. In short, though, the more you use Bing the smarter it becomes. Bing uses your search history to give you better results, including personalization and autosuggest. You can manage your search history by visiting your settings. We have a rigorous feedback review process so if you come across something in Bing that you think our Developers should be aware of submitting feedback through the website is the best way to do so.
This space can also be a resource. By posting here about your experience with a feature, other users may be prompted to comment there experiences as well. While I personally can't fix the issues I can make sure that the correct teams are aware of them.Alyxandria (she/her)

Hi HotCakeX, this is a really good question! Thanks for posting it. At this time, the best way to help Bing become better is to submit feedback from the bottom of the page when you experience something that could be better.
I'm going to talk to a few of our developers and see if I can find some more information for you.

Thank you for the response,
I wish Bing used people's search data anonymously as a collective data to train the AI brain behind the search engine to optimize it for the language or type of content the search was related to.
2 of the problems I've noticed in the past year that I was primarily using Bing, were: 1) Bing search results need to crawl more websites and 2) Bing reverse image search needs to have crawled more pictures.
when I reverse search the same picture in both Bing and Google, the chance of finding different sizes of that picture or finding that picture on the internet in a website is 70% to 30% in favor of Google.
these problems can even be combined into 1, which is that Bing needs more data. it already knows how to process the data, how to show small informative blocks of data around search results (not sure about their exact name) etc.
