Study Notes
Footprints in Contexts Beyond Nature
Footprints are commonly associated with the physical traces left by animals or humans on soil, sand, or other surfaces. However, the concept of "footprints" extends beyond our natural world and into the digital realm, influencing how we interact with information, tools, and services.
Bing Chat's No-Search Feature
In June 2023, Mikhail Parakhin, CEO of Bing Search at Microsoft, announced that Bing Chat would begin offering a feature called "#nosearch," allowing users to instruct the chatbot to not search the web for answers to certain questions. This feature is particularly useful for tasks like coding, math, and casual conversations, where users might prefer Bing Chat to rely on its pre-existing knowledge rather than search the web for fresh data.
Removing Distractions on Google Search
The No Search For Chrome extension blocks the "People also searched for" box on Google search results pages, making navigation more predictable and preventing search results from shifting due to the addition of this box.
Excluding Pages from Google Sitemaps
The no_search field in some tools, like dd_googlesitemap for Typo3, is used to exclude pages from sitemaps. However, it has been noted that this field is suboptimally chosen for this purpose.
The Upcoming Bing Chat Plugin
Microsoft introduced the "No Search" feature as a plugin for Bing Chat after a limited testing phase with a small number of users. Parakhin confirmed that the feature now waits for the general plugin rollout.
In summary, the concept of "footprints" extends from the physical world to the digital realm, impacting how we navigate, search, and interact with information. From removing distractions on Google search to excluding pages from sitemaps and providing the option to not search the web with Bing Chat, the concept of footprints continues to evolve, adapting to our changing needs.
