Microsoft starts testing an AI-based search engine in Windows 11 – Computerworld

Windows Insiders can now download a new beta version of Windows 11 that offers support for Microsoft’s new search engine based on artificial intelligence (AI); that means, among other things, it is possible to use natural language when performing a search.

For now, search functions are limited to finding images and documents in jpg, png, pdf, txt and xls formats.

To use the new AI search, a Copilot+ computer is required. And thanks to the special NPU chip in these PCs, users can try out the new search feature without being connected to the internet, The Verge reports.
