Bing searches stopped rewarding for subsequent searches before reaching cap
I have made plenty of searches on Bing today. However, it only partially rewarded my initial search efforts, and further searches did not reward any points. For example, I'm currently capped at 20 out of 50 points as of Feb 13, 2024. The same thing happened in the last few days, when I got capped at 20 out of 50 points for those days as well. I am a long time user of Bing. This is the first time I've encountered this issue.
Does Yahoo/Microsoft Bing Support Crawling BIBFRAME Data?
Hello, I would like to understand Yahoo/Microsoft Bing's support for crawling BIBFRAME data embedded in webpages. Specifically, I have the following questions: Does Yahoo/Microsoft Bing currently support crawling and indexing BIBFRAME content? If so, what are the requirements for proper indexing? How does Yahoo/Microsoft Bing advise to implement the BIBRAME in the webpages? Which version(s) of BIBFRAME does Yahoo/Microsoft Bing support? When searching for books, which keywords within the BIBFRAME structure can be used to retrieve the correct book URL? Is there an official test site or tool available to verify whether Yahoo/Microsoft Bing has indexed my BIBFRAME content? If BIBFRAME is not currently supported, does Yahoo/Microsoft Bing have any plans or a timeline for future support? What would be the best alternative to BIBFRAME for ensuring compatibility with Yahoo/Microsoft Bing's indexing system? Additionally, I would like to ask: Are there any recommended best practices to improve BIBFRAME indexing in Yahoo/Microsoft Bing Search? Can BIBFRAME be effectively used in combination with Schema.org to enhance visibility in search results? Are there any third-party tools or APIs available to test whether BIBFRAME data has been successfully crawled and indexed? Have libraries or academic institutions demonstrated successful implementations of BIBFRAME within Yahoo/Microsoft Bing's search ecosystem? If so, are there any case studies or examples? I would appreciate any insights or official documentation related to these questions. Thank you!Happy Birthday, Give with Bing!

Hello Bing Team, I need urgent help regarding two Bing search results displaying personal or outdated information about me. LinkedIn snippet shows outdated information: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/tugbakalaman Bing still displays an old job title and company name, even though my LinkedIn profile was updated months ago. I tried using the content removal tool, but it didn’t work. Support told me the result may persist until Bing manually clears it. Bold.pro page contains personal address: https://ca.bold.pro/my/tugb This result shows my full home address and previous employment history, which I no longer want online. I do not use this profile anymore and urgently request its removal for privacy and safety reasons. I was directed here by Microsoft support to raise this issue for manual review. Please help me resolve this. Thank you for your time and support.

Why my site Data is not updating in Bing Webmaster Tools
I manage a website focused on Wendy's menu prices in the USA and recently added it to Bing Webmaster Tools to monitor clicks and impressions. Initially, I was able to see data showing the performance of my site. However, the data has stopped updating and seems to be stuck. As my site aims to provide up-to-date information on Wendy's menu prices across the USA, it's essential for me to have accurate insights into its performance on Bing. I've verified the site and ensured the correct placement of verification tags. Can anyone help me resolve this issue and ensure my site's data updates correctly on Bing Webmaster Tools?
My website not indexing on Bing, core vitals went to 0 after change the webhost
I am facing some issues with coreweb vitals as well as bing indexing, I have tried to let bing get the index of the site and with no reason it keeps getting nothing. I checked if it had the sitemap and it does, also checked robots.txt to see if there was a “no crawl” option, and there is nothing of sorts. . On the other hand, the host of the site changed from Hostinger to Wordpress. After that, the coreweb vitals section went to 0, it used to be very well. How can we fix that? any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!"
How does Bing handle organization data when web content is enabled in Copilot for M365?
Does commercial data protection apply to prompts and responses within Copilot for Microsoft 365 when web content is enabled? Does it get the same protections as Microsoft Copilot, formerly known as Bing Chat for Enterprise? How is company data handled in this scenario? I've tried to follow the trail of privacy, terms of use, etc for Bing Search services, but have come up empty with how the data is handled from the company's perspective. All I see is in association to end user privacy. This is a gap in documentation either from an omission standpoint or simplicity and explicit standpoint. It is certainly unclear to me. Full transparency: I posted this in the M365 hub as well. I figure this is technically more appropriate here.Bing Search not getting my Title & Description tags in the search results using React JS
The Bing Search results are not showing the title & Description in SERP as I am looking to resolve this issue with my Deve. personal and still did not figure it out the issue. Using React Helmet to dynamically manage the title and description tags of our web pages server-side rendering. using (data-rh="true") The common issue with React Helmet is that it does not override the default title and description tags that are in the index.html file. This can cause our web pages to show the wrong title and description in the search results. To fix this, we add the data-rh or data-react-helmet attribute to the tags in our index.html file that we want to override with React Helmet. I raised this issue at Google Support, and while they provided a solution for Google, I still need assistance with the Bing SERP.
Middle Mouse for New Tab
The desired behavior is for links in Bing's results to open in the current tab with left click, but in a new tab with middle mouse. This doesn't seem to be achieved by the Settings>More>Search>Results>"Open links from search results in a new tab or window" since this setting changes both behaviors to one or the other. Until recently the behavior was as desired. Was the feature removed or am I missing some way to configure it?Who can help? Bing bots refuse to crawl the content.
Bing support has been ignoring me for the past 9 months, repeatedly sending the same response: "The submitted URL is known to Bing but has some issues preventing indexing. We recommend following the Bing Webmaster guidelines to increase your chances of indexing." I discovered the issue and fixed it, but even after a long time, the site still hasn't been indexed. I have tried all the methods multiple times to speed up indexing, but it didn’t work. Bing is connected, but Bing bots refuse to crawl the content.
25 year old website disappeared from Bing
Hello, Our brand website has ranked fairly well on Bing since Bing first opened. The site has existed since the year 2000. It has usually/often ranked #1 for the brand name and closely associated terms. We often had a full array of image and page links accompanying our listing even when that listing was not #1. Recently we've noticed that our top ranking home page & category pages have all disappeared from Bing and only a handful of deeper, somewhat obscure pages of the site are showing up & they are ranking very poorly (round page 3-5) with no image or page links accompanying. I've gone through Bing Webmaster Tools (and many other tools) and the site is healthier than ever, nearly 100% scores across all metrics, zero errors, very few warnings or suggestions. The site is modern, responsive, updated regularly & recently etc. I can't figure out why our normally top-ranking pages seem to have been purged from the results and only more obscure pages are coming up at all. The pages seem to be indexed, just not showing up anywhere anymore. Any Insights would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks.My Website Suddenly Disappeared from Bing Index – No Errors, No Response from Support
Hey everyone, I’m facing a frustrating issue with Bing, and I could really use some help. My website suddenly disappeared from Bing’s index for no apparent reason. There are no warnings, no manual actions, and no crawl errors in Bing Webmaster Tools. I’ve already reached out to Bing support four times, but I haven’t received a single response. At this point, I don’t know what else to do. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get Bing to reindex the site or how to actually get a response from their support team? Would really appreciate any insights or suggestions! Thanks in advance. 🙏No Response to Bing PubHub Application - Seeking Assistance

Best regards, LinarURLs in sitemap automatically changed to lower case
I am constrained by Bing webmaster which automatically changes all url writing to lowercase in the sitemap (in the .xml file I have written it correctly. this happens to all my pages that use the zh-Hans (Chinese simplified) and also zh-Hant (Chinese traditional) language versions. for example: mysite.com/zh-Hans/database/profile/2001/ Bing changes it to mysite.com/zh-hans/database/profile/2001/ in the end the index status of all these pages becomes canonicalized. does anyone have a way to overcome this?Homepage Indexing Issue on Bing
