Pin Open Internal Search Results in Bing for Business Tenant Setting is Missing
- Feb 20, 2019
My company would very much like this setting also. We are beta testing Bing for Business / MS Search and when there is not a bookmark/Q&A/location hit, the work results section shows up collapsed and we are finding many users are missing it. From a UX perspective, we see this as a show stopper. Otherwise, the experience and results from our beta test is quite good. I can however understand the flip side of a general Bing user searching for public content. So how about an alternative solution of adding an additional URL parameter such that visibility pin open can be controlled per URL call. In our case, we have an existing company intranet home page and would like to re-direct the search from this page to Bing for Business/ MS Search via a URL like below. This would allow companies to tailor the experience for internal search use cases while not impacting users who uses Bing for public searches.

Thanks for the feedback on this feature and I will pass this to the engineering team.
Currently, there is no option for the admin to enforce the visibility setting for users.
Any response from the engineering team?
Is there anywhere where can we vote for features ao Microsoft Search?

@Raj Kolagotla update here? This is a blocker for us. In our beta test, nearly ever user missed the expand for business results section.
