Tech Showcase: DeepFind: Searching within Documents to Answer Natural Language Questions

  • Ryan Huang | Microsoft

DeepFindSearching within web documents on mobile devices is difficult and unnatural: ctrl-f searches only for exact matches, and it’s hard to see the search results. DeepFind takes a step toward solving this problem by allowing users to search within web documents using natural language queries and displays snippets from the document that answer the user’s questions. Users can interact with DeepFind on bing.com, m.bing.com, and the Bing iOS App in two different ways: as an overlay experience, which encourages exploration and follow-up questions, or as a rich carousel of document snippets integrated directly into the search engine results pages, which proactively answers the user’s question.
