Microsoft is testing the ability to upload an image directly within the Bing search bar. You click on a plus sign and Bing shows you "search with an image" and "make an image." I get the search with an image feature but why add generative AI features, like make an image, in this search bar?
We saw Google testing the + sign to upload a file or image but those took you to search related features.
This new test was spotted by Shameem Adhikarath who shared the following screenshot on X:
Again, I understand the "search with an image" option but the "make an image" option is a bit too much.
Forum discussion at X.
Updte: Another variation:
Microsoft Bing added a “+” icon in search results.
