Strategy for Finding the Right Information
To get more precise search results on Bing, consider the following strategies:
- Including more focused and specific keywords will help narrow down search results. For example, type “houseplant care tips” instead of just “plants”.
- Bing supports search operators such as AND, OR, and NOT. For example, if you’re looking for information about “cats” but not about “dogs,” you could type “cats NOT dogs.”
- Once you’ve got your search results, use the filters available to filter by date, location, or content type (such as images or videos).
- Be careful of the top results that are often ads, which are usually marked as “ads” or sponsored ads.
Avoiding the Ad Trap in Search
Ads often appear in search results and can interfere with the user experience. Here are some tips to avoid ad traps:
- Familiarize yourself with the appearance of ads on Bing. Ads are usually marked with an “Ads” label on them. Focus on results that aren’t labeled ads for more objective information.
- Always check the credibility of a source before trusting information. Official websites or reputable news sources are usually more reliable compared to lesser-known sites.
- Consider using an ad-blocking extension on your browser to reduce the number of ads that appear when searching.
- To block ads on web pages, you can install the Adblock Plus app from the Microsoft Store.

Browsing Privacy and Security
InPrivate Browsing is a feature in Microsoft Edge that allows users to browse the internet without saving browsing history, cookies, or other data after the session is complete. This feature is especially useful for those who want to maintain privacy when using a shared computer or when they don’t want their search information to be stored. When you open the InPrivate window, Edge will mark the session, so you know that all browsing activity will not be recorded.
Protecting Personal Data
Using InPrivate mode helps protect your data in the following ways:
- All sites you visit during an InPrivate session won’t appear in your browsing history after the window is closed.
- Cookies and other site data that would normally be stored for tracking will not be stored. This reduces the likelihood of targeted ads based on your browsing activity.
- This mode also helps prevent sensitive information, such as passwords and payment data, from being automatically saved by the browser.
