Request to Remove Personal/Outdated Information from Bing Search
Hello Bing Team, I need urgent help regarding two Bing search results displaying personal or outdated information about me. LinkedIn snippet shows outdated information: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/tugbakalaman Bing still displays an old job title and company name, even though my LinkedIn profile was updated months ago. I tried using the content removal tool, but it didn’t work. Support told me the result may persist until Bing manually clears it. Bold.pro page contains personal address: https://ca.bold.pro/my/tugb This result shows my full home address and previous employment history, which I no longer want online. I do not use this profile anymore and urgently request its removal for privacy and safety reasons. I was directed here by Microsoft support to raise this issue for manual review. Please help me resolve this. Thank you for your time and support.
Who can help? Bing bots refuse to crawl the content.
Bing support has been ignoring me for the past 9 months, repeatedly sending the same response: "The submitted URL is known to Bing but has some issues preventing indexing. We recommend following the Bing Webmaster guidelines to increase your chances of indexing." I discovered the issue and fixed it, but even after a long time, the site still hasn't been indexed. I have tried all the methods multiple times to speed up indexing, but it didn’t work. Bing is connected, but Bing bots refuse to crawl the content.
我的网站没有在必应当中展示
问题是由供应商：（翁嘉莉）在其他论坛建议我来此发表！ 问题是 域名：dwo.cc 买来后一直无法收录 进入必应站长后台就是显示：必应可以识别经过检查的 URL，但出现了一些导致无法编制索引的问题。我们建议你按照必应网站管理员工具准则增加索引编制的机会。 但是实时URL显示该 URL 可以由必应编制索引 只要该页面通过了质量检查，并且必应对其进行了索引编制，它就可以显示在必应搜索结果中 已经申请了多次编制，且只爬取，不索引 通过 https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/webmaster-support-24ab5ebf 反馈就是一直没回复或者没后续 谷歌和百度之类都是正常收录 我给他的回复是：这个问题比较常见，但是并没有什么好的处理方法，只爬取，不索引！我也在其他必应的论坛发表过问题，但是至今未能解决，发就邮件就是回复例如：A：这个我们无法拿到具体数据请找B，B：我们不是这个产品的，我们没有具体后台数据！就类似这样子踢皮球，以至这个问题现在还存在！ 希望在此能解决这个问题
Major annoyance - BING converts search links to BING.COM redirect links.
I don't know if there's any way around this but BING converts every search result URL into a BING.COM redirect URL. While this may seem like a good idea to Microsoft since it records click-throughs, it falls apart on direct linked documents such as PDF, images, etc. The redirect prevents you from actually copying the real link and pasting it elsewhere. For example, something as simple as xyz.com/mydoc.pdf turns into bing.com/search=?q=blahblahblahblah and on for 50+ more random characters. And you can't simply click on the link and get it from the address bar because Edge will open the document in whatever external program handles that document type (like Acrobat Reader or MS Excel). I do a fair amount of online research and this behavior is really annoying when I want to capture and reference a link directly to a document. Note that Google does NOT do this as it preserves the actual destination link in the search results. And some of the other search engines I've tried (eg Freespoke, DuckDuckGo) don't do it either.Multiple external sites in an organization Search
Hello, We are an organization with multiple public websites with different repositories (web content, documents, images, dbs) We want a search that will query them all to bring back results to a common page so our users do not have to search multiple sites. We are also an Azure Client. Should I be using Bing or Azure Search (cognitive) services? Thoughts on this? Thanks, V
From a profit viewpoint, why should Microsoft support Edge?
EDIT: I should preface this message by saying that everything here is purely speculative, and is the result of, probably, 15 minutes of searching. I do not know what reasons Microsoft had for creating the original Microsoft Edge or this new version, and I do not know if Bing is important to Edge's success. Please don't think of any of these theories as facts. END OF EDIT. I think we can mostly agree that Microsoft Edge is, or at least will be, pretty great. It has collections, a music control thing, a development team that actively listens to user input, a nice looking NTP, and way more coming "soon". However, a big question started bothering me this afternoon: Why is Microsoft developing a Chromium Web Browser? Well, let's look back at where this all began: Project Spartan. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2015/03/30/introducing-project-spartan-the-new-browser-built-for-windows-10/ Spartan was meant to be way more user-friendly, faster, and less power hungry than Chrome. It was supposed to do to Chrome what Chrome had done to Internet Explorer and Firefox. But more than that: Spartan's tagline was The New Browser Built for Windows 10. If you wanted to use the best new browser, you had to have a Windows machine. Furthermore, if you wanted to use some of Edge's best new features, like Inking on Web Pages, you would need a pen, and essentially, if you needed a pen, you needed a Microsoft Surface Tablet. So from my best guess, Microsoft saw that the web browser had become the most important piece of software and wanted to create a browser that would make their hardware sell like hotcakes. https://youtu.be/q4rL_Lnt6kA Obviously, that didn't happen. So, at the tail end of 2018, Microsoft announced that Spartan Edge would be replaced by Chromium Edge. This was so exciting; now Edge would be just as fast and stable as Chrome, but with a plethora of new Microsoft tools and UI enhancements! I'm really loving the new Microsoft Edge for exactly those reasons, but there's a problem: "from a profit standpoint, why should Microsoft support Edge?" Edge runs on Windows 7, 8.1 and Mac just as well as it runs on Windows 10. Furthermore, Edge inherited a lot of Chrome's clunky mouse / keyboard based UI, so it isn't a shining example of the Surface hardware or the Fluent UI software. If Edge isn't a tool to market Windows, and Edge can't generate profits on its own, then why is Microsoft spending so many resources on this project? Maybe we can look at the new marketing page for Edge: Oh no. Bing is supposedly one of the main reasons to download Edge. In fact, it gets its own page! Bing definitely generates revenue for Microsoft through the incorporation of advertising, but relying on Bing to fund Edge raises two really big alarms for me: First off, Bing is to Google Search what Spartan Edge was to Chrome. Sure, both Bing and Google work, but most people use Google. Second, Edge can't force users to search with Bing. Bing is a website, the same as Google.com. It's really easy to get to Google.com in Microsoft Edge. Maybe this is why Edge made it super difficult to change search providers? Seriously, "default search provider" is the very last option in Privacy and Services. The only way to hide it better would be to put it "in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard." - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy This partnership with Bing is strenuous at best, and the perceived reliance on Bing's revenue seems ill-fated. Regardless of how popular Edge becomes in two years, what will happen to it? In two years, how big will Edge's development team be? In two years, will the development team be able to pump out features like they have in 2019? I really want to see Edge achieve, and maintain, a status as one of the most innovative and well-designed web browsers available. As much as I am afraid to kick this beehive, the importance of the topic feels too great to let slide. Hopefully, someone can provide an answer.Bing Chat for Educators – a new Professional Development course on Microsoft Learn
Last week, we launched a new Microsoft Learn course called Enhance teaching and learning with Bing Chat. This course is designed for educators to explore using Bing Chat in education by learning basic concepts, modes, and features and then applying that knowledge to design effective prompts and analyze results.
