Microsoft Bing is testing loading more people also ask options as you click on them. This is something Google has done for a long time now. But now when you click on an option under the people also ask section within Bing, Bing may load more beneath them - to show you more options. Plus, they load these cards for the site it is referencing. I spotted this via both Sachin Patel and Khushal Bherwani on X - and I was able to replicate it.

Microsoft is testing a way to change the country and region you are in when doing searches on Bing.

Microsoft is testing various interfaces for the sitelinks in Bing Search.

Microsoft is testing a new search bar/box header for the Bing Search results. The Bing search bar sticks to the top as you scroll through the search results. Google just rolled that out a month or so ago and now Bing is testing it. I spotted this via Sachin Patel, who noted the line divider between the search bar and the results, which may be new. He posted about it on X - but it seems the sticky search bar is a test too.

There are several posts in the Search Central Forum about this, and I just saw the issue pop up for a client. Google's Crawl Stats reporting drops heavily around 8/8. There is no impact to rankings and traffic, but all the sites posting about this see it happen on 8/8. My client is not blocking crawling of Googlebot, and Bing seems totally fine crawling-wise.
