How to Turn On Precise Search in Copilot

[empaumadaev]

I accidentally disabled the precise search feature for Copilot after resetting cookies and settings on Microsoft Edge. How can I turn it back on? Please help.

To turn on the precise search feature in Copilot, follow these steps:

Open Microsoft Edge and click on the three dots (menu) in the upper right corner.
Go to Settings and then click on Privacy, search, and services.
Scroll down to the Services section and make sure "Improve search and browsing" is turned on.
Then, under the Services section, look for Copilot and ensure "Precise search" is enabled.

If you have any extensions installed that might affect your search settings, you might want to check those as well. Some ad blockers or privacy-focused extensions could be interfering with Copilot's precise search feature.

If the above steps don't work, try clearing your cache and cookies again. Sometimes, a corrupted cache can cause settings not to save properly. After clearing the cache, restart Edge and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks, everyone! An extension was indeed causing the issue. I disabled it, and now the precise search feature is back on.
