Background & analysis
On November 13, 2026, Microsoft announced in a post on the Bing Search Blog that Bing search users now have two official ways to skip AI-generated answers. The first option is the Microsoft Bing AI Search Choice extension, available for the Chrome and Edge browsers. Once installed, it adds a single toggle for AI-generated answers, and the setting applies to every Bing search after a one-time configuration rather than having to be repeated for each query. The second option requires no installation at all: appending "-ai" to the end of a query removes the AI answer for that specific search only, leaving other searches unaffected. Microsoft said its research found that users want to be the ones deciding whether AI is involved in their searches at all. The announcement presents both mechanisms as the company's official approach, though the material does not give further details on rollout timing or how widely the extension or the query flag are available at this point.
