Re: How can I remove my full name as a top search suggestion?
Are you sure it’s just my device in question? Because I’ve been using incognito across my computer and my phone, and because of that all that caches and whatever I should’ve cleared when I was done are left floating around in the algorithm I think. Not to mention the usage of other search engines that Bing powers. I also checked using a computer that I do not own, and my full name still popped up if I entered in the specific keywords/letters. Also thanks, I am unsure if there could be someone who does work for Microsoft can come in and assist me here, as this place mostly focuses on user to user interaction.3.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How can I remove my full name as a top search suggestion?
Yes, the keyword suggestion feature is a given for search engines, but I just want my full name as a top search suggestion removed. To be fair, trying to contact Bing’s support team doesn’t work because they’ll just tell you that it’s all part of some algorithm. So I was hoping to find someone who can actually help me here. One solution I did try was searching similar sounding keywords as many times as possible, but I think that is a waste of time myself. I think if I can find someone who actually works for Microsoft/Bing’s support team here, it’d be the easiest solution as opposed to get automated messages. Also, thanks for the tip of potential scammers. Because I got dealt with a scammer myself months ago.3.6KViews1like6CommentsRe: How can I remove my full name as a top search suggestion?
Thanks for stepping in and offering your side of this problem. Yes, this is indeed a privacy related issue and Microsoft should be able to address concerns like these properly. Bing has been showing tons of outdated results that were either weblinks or images that were connected to pages that have been long deleted. I find it odd how Bing doesn't update automatically like other search engines, you pretty much need to tell them yourself about it. My first name is uncommon too, so there aren't many people out there who share my first and last name possibly.3.7KViews0likes10CommentsRe: How can I remove my full name as a top search suggestion?
No, this search suggestion in question does not lead to any websites in particular. I am not sure what you mean by "problem you don't understand." If you want to know what it is, I will need to private message you about it.3.7KViews0likes0CommentsHow can I remove my full name as a top search suggestion?
Hello. I am writing this as a continuation from the Microsoft Support Community, in which someone directed my attention to this place. I have been using Bing via the incognito mode for a good amount of time to check and see if there was anything I should remove from the internet that was connected to my full name. Unfortunately, this created a new problem. Because I frequently used Bing to check and find that stuff, my full name now appears as a top search suggestion if you enter “Firstname firstletter/firsttwolettersolastname.” For the first letter, it is the eighth result. For the first two letters, it is the first result. I want to get it removed, but I’m having a hard time doing so. I tried reporting a concern to Bing about this, but they refused to help me. I contacted them twice and no luck. What can I do to get my full name removed as a top search suggestion regarding the certain keywords and such?3.9KViews2likes15Comments
