Study Notes
No Searching for Answers: From Bing to Google Docs
In today's world of information overload, you might want to get answers without leaving the comfort of your own knowledge—and that's where the concept of "no-search" comes into play. This feature, which allows you to request information without web searches, is popping up in various platforms, from AI chatbots to browser extensions.
The Bing No-Search Revolution
Last year, Mikhail Parakhin, the CEO of Bing Search at Microsoft, announced that Bing Chat would be introducing a feature called "#nosearch," which would allow users to request answers without web searches. This feature is particularly useful for questions where web searches may not add value, such as coding, math, and other scenarios where a direct, concise response is desired.
Bing Chat's Implementation
To invoke Bing Chat's no-search feature, simply add "#nosearch" to the end of your question. For example:
- "How do I convert 100 Celsius to Fahrenheit without searching the web?"
- "What is the definition of a vector in mathematics, without a web search?"
Extensions and Workarounds
There are even browser extensions, like "No Search For," which remove the "People also searched for" box on Google search results pages, improving navigation and preventing search results from shifting down when the box displays.
Google Docs and Cookies
Google Docs itself doesn't have a no-search feature, but it does rely on cookies for access. Without necessary cookies enabled, you won't be able to access content.
Troubleshooting
If you're unable to access your Google Account or turn on cookies, you may need to sign in to your Google account or allow cookie access to proceed.
Typo3 and Excluding Pages from Sitemaps
The concept of "no-search" isn't just limited to AI chatbots and browser extensions. Even in the world of website content management, the term "no-search" is used to exclude pages from sitemaps, but this usage is considered suboptimal according to a discussion in a GitHub issue.
Conclusion
The no-search feature is a helpful tool that allows users to request information without the distraction of web search results. From AI chatbots to browser extensions and content management systems, no-search is becoming an increasingly popular feature that enhances our ability to access knowledge directly and efficiently.
