4月5日，微软发布消息，为庆祝公司创立50周年，宣布了Copilot的数项新功能。这些AI工具将在未来数月逐步推出，目前已有一些升级功能可供使用。

其中，Bing搜索引擎引入的Copilot Search功能备受关注，它融合了传统网络搜索和生成式搜索结果。

据悉微软宣称此功能“革新了网络搜索”，Copilot Search能够通过Bing综合多个网站的信息，展现更为详尽和准确的搜索响应，并且提供引用和建议，引导用户进一步探索相关主题。尽管将传统搜索与生成式AI结合并非首创，且谷歌已取得诸多成果，但仍有用户反馈谷歌的生成式搜索结果不尽人意。如果微软能借助Copilot优化Bing，使其成为更高效的信息检索工具，将显著提升Bing的品牌价值。

微软将这一升级命名为“Copilot Search”，既便于用户识别，又给人以焕然一新的感觉，而非仅仅是对Bing的简单更新。完美岛推荐

On April 5th, Microsoft announced several new features for Copilot to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary. These AI tools will be rolled out gradually over the next few months, with some upgraded features already available for use. Among them, the Copilot Search feature introduced in the Bing search engine has attracted significant attention. It combines traditional web search with generative search results. According to Microsoft’s blog, the company claims that this feature “revolutionizes web search.” Copilot Search can synthesize information from multiple websites through Bing, providing more detailed and accurate search responses. It also offers citations and suggestions to guide users in further exploring related topics. Although combining traditional search with generative AI is not a first, and Google has achieved many accomplishments in this area, some users have reported that Google’s generative search results are not entirely satisfactory. If Microsoft can optimize Bing with Copilot and make it a more efficient information retrieval tool, it will significantly enhance Bing’s brand value. Microsoft has named this upgrade “Copilot Search” to make it easily recognizable by users and to give it a fresh feel, rather than being just a simple update to Bing.
