Microsoft sets Bing Visual Search as the one stop for answers on Windows Search bar

In the past, Cortana was integrated into the search box of the Windows 10 system tray, ready to answer various questions from users. Now it has been replaced by the non-personalized Windows Search Bar, which basically puts a small web browser into the Windows Search bar.

Since the birth of Windows 10, few Windows users have used the platform’s search bar. This may simply be because the feature does not provide any functionality for searching directly in Windows File Explorer. However, over time, the search includes more features. The Windows Search Bar is not just for searching files. You can enter any normal questions and even perform calculations. You can check the news immediately or visit some websites.

Windows Search powered by Bing may be a way for Microsoft to attract more users to Bing and Edge. You cannot easily search for and install Windows applications in Chrome, nor manage files like Explorer. But through the Windows Search Bar, users can do the above without opening a browser.
