"Microsoft is testing the ability to upload an image directly within the Bing search bar. You click on a plus sign and Bing shows you "search with an image" and "make an image." I get the search with an image feature but why add generative AI features, like make an image, in this search bar? We saw Google testing the + sign to upload a file or image but those took you to search related features."
"This new test was spotted by Shameem Adhikarath who shared the following screenshot on X: Again, I understand the "search with an image" option but the "make an image" option is a bit too much. Forum discussion at X."
Microsoft is testing an inline image upload feature within the Bing search bar, activated by a plus sign. The interface offers "search with an image" and "make an image" options. The "search with an image" option performs image-based search. The "make an image" option invokes generative AI to create images. Google tested a similar + sign for file upload that led to search-related features. The test was spotted by Shameem Adhikarath who shared a screenshot on X. The inclusion of generative image creation in the search bar raises usability and scope questions.
