Trouble with Bing Custom Search Hosted UI
Been using Hosted UI for a few months now for our site of 3k+ pages, very happy.
Today around 3:45 or so the results started appearing incorrectly.
Logged into customsearch.ai > My Instance > Test using the right hand section (enter a query...) and it shows correct results.
Now I click on Hosted UI tab > scroll to bottom of page > Consuming the UI > Option 2 > Click on URL:
The results are entirely different and incorrect.
The Consuming UI link:
https://ui.customsearch.ai/hosted?customConfig=3337725077&market=en-us&safesearch=moderate
Using query "size pipe" Currently shows 5 results, none of which are correct.
A similar Bing.com search, using this search query "site:landfx.com size pipe" currently shows some correct results, certainly more than the link above.
But the weird thing is, in customsearch.ai > Definition Editor > test on right side of screen > shows great results with ideal pages appearing that aren't at the top of the other two results.
I'm very confused as to :
1) Why this started happening right now
2) Why I'm getting wildly different results from all three tests
Perhaps this is related to bing.com/webmaster? In Google Search Console I've tested my sitemap - no errors found, 3,496 pages submitted. In Bing Webmaster > Configure site > Sitemaps, the very same sitemap shows zero URLs submitted.
Another test I just did:
Query: "Plant Data"
Bing site:landfx.com top result: Plant Data and adding Custom Fields
Custom Search AI > Definition Editor > Test top result: Plant Manager
Hosted UI top result: Edit Our Default Plant Symbols
The Hosted UI results did not include either of the other two test's results at all.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
This seems to have resolved. I can see many more results and not 5 results only. Can you pls check? The correct place is: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/bing-search.
