That said, all your other searches that work just the same (or maybe even better) with third-party search engines and browsers - they also now have to go through Bing and Edge. For example, Gavin says that one day users will be able to tell Cortana: “get tickets to Rihanna show,” and she’ll find the best tickets based on your preferences and even offer to buy them for you. So yes, this feature, and others that Microsoft undoubtedly has in the works (“end-to-end personal search experiences,” the company calls them) are not possible if the Cortana search box has been set to use something other than Bing or Edge. Search for “Best Buy” in the Cortana box, click through on the top web result to, and Cortana will offer up coupons to save you money.Shopping for a new black dress in Microsoft Edge, do an image search in Bing and then right-click a dress to Ask Cortana to get you more information on it.Search for “Bluetooth not working” in the Cortana box, and Bing gives you a rich video help answer only available on Windows 10 as a Bing search result.
Search for “Pizza Hut” in the Cortana box and, once you’re on the Pizza Hut website in Microsoft Edge, Cortana can show you your closest locations.Gavin offered a few examples today of what this feature can do for you: Back in September 2015, the company flipped a switch that let Cortana start showing you coupons in Microsoft Edge. The only way we can confidently deliver this personalized, end-to-end search experience is through the integration of Cortana, Microsoft Edge and Bing – all designed to do more for you.” The continuity of these types of task completion scenarios is disrupted if Cortana can’t depend on Bing as the search provider and Microsoft Edge as the browser. “The result is a compromised experience that is less reliable and predictable. “Unfortunately, as Windows 10 has grown in adoption and usage, we have seen some software programs circumvent the design of Windows 10 and redirect you to search providers that were not designed to work with Cortana,” Ryan Gavin, Microsoft’s general manager of search and Cortana, said in a statement. So why is Microsoft making this change? The company says it all comes down to the Cortana experience: She is powered by Bing (completely true), and she needs Edge for some of her features to work (but not all, or even most).
