Description:

its replies.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Microsofts Bing AI is getting a no search feature and its coming soon, were 
told. 

What does this ability do? Much as the name suggests, it instructs the Bing 
chatbot to answer off its own bat, and not search the web to use that data in 
the reply to your query. Yes, official #nosearch support is coming soon July

 OnMSFT spotted that Mikhail Parakhin, who is head of Advertising and Web 
Services at Microsoft, let us know about the incoming functionality on 
Twitter. 

Parakhin has actually mentioned the feature a few times in tweets over the 
past week, and in the most recent message, said that no search is coming soon 
(as you can see above). 

We shouldnt be waiting long, then, to get this capability, and itll add to 
the growing armory of features that Microsoft is building out for Bing AI. 

In case you missed it, Bing AI was recently furnished with improved sports 
knowledge for queries on the big game(s), and a major incoming feature is 
image recognition (so you can sling a picture at the chatbot, and have the 
location or building identified, for example). Bing Vision, as its called, is 
due to arrive for all users in the very near future. Analysis: Another useful 
option for Bing AI 

Another facet of the chatbot Microsoft is working on is to reduce the time it 
takes Bing AI to respond in the case of certain queries (eliminating 
so-called latency spikes). Presumably, using no search will also have the 
benefit of speeding up the chatbots answers too (as Bing will be doing less 
in this case). We shall see, but better performance is clearly something 
Microsoft wants to gun for with the AI. 

Why would you want to use a no search query in general, though? Well, as the 
Twitter user who Parakhin replied to makes clear, with some questions, you 
dont need Bing to go rifling around the web  and in some cases, scraping data 
from multiple websites could potentially make an answer less useful. (As 
another user points out, this affects Bings coding abilities detrimentally, 
for example). 

Also, you may just want a quick and streamlined reply, rather than a heap of 
web references thrown at you. So, while this might be a somewhat niche 
feature, its going to be a very useful one to have for some folks.
