Bing tests renaming Copilot Search to AI Overviews
Microsoft is testing a rename of the AI answer box atop Bing Search results, from Copilot Search to AI Overviews — the term Google uses for its own AI answer results — per Search Engine Roundtable. The Copilot logo still appears alongside the box in the test.
Why it matters: Borrowing a rival's exact term for the AI-answer box suggests the format's name has become generic shorthand searchers already recognize, not a brand Microsoft is trying to own.
