But it isn’t.

There’s no AI in Windows Search.

Bing Chat in Windows Search

Any Bing Chat element opens Edge.

Microsoft’s clever Bing Chat AI isn’t even integrated with any shell interface you might see within Windows.

That’s literally all that this is.

Putting all your search needs for Windows in one easy to find location.

Bing Chat opening Edge

Any Bing Chat element opens Edge.

That is wildly misleading.

My gripe is with Microsoft’s big push on AI being added to the Windows taskbar and search experience.

Bing Chat no UI

Typing a chat query won’t actually show any chat UI from Bing within Windows.

I’m maddened to see Microsoft headlining a shortcut to Bing.com as the star of this feature update.

It just launches Edge, and it’s really disappointing.

It doesn’t even show chat responses in the Windows Search results pane.

Artificial Intelligence AI Assistant Apps - ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Poe.

Microsoft has done the bare minimum here, if you could even call it that.

Microsoft�s new AI-driven Semantic Search is now available for those on the Windows Insider Release Preview.
