Bing adds two ways to turn off AI search: a toggle extension and a "-ai" query parameter
JordiRib1 · x · 2026-11-12
Microsoft's Bing team published a blog explaining how users can disable AI features in search. Two methods are offered: the Bing AI Search Choice extension (preview), which toggles AI features with one click, and appending "-ai" to any query (e.g. "why is the sky blue -ai") to get results without AI. The team frames this as giving users choice over how and when they use AI.
