Microsoft continues to develop the unified service Microsoft Search. The latest additions to Microsoft Search include 'Project Turing' deep-learning, as well as a shift towards semantic search.
Microsoft Search, or Microsoft Search, is the name Microsoft uses to refer to the unified search experience designed to work on applications-Windows services, Office, Bing and more.
Two years ago at Ignite, Microsoft executives announced "Bing for Business," which was part of a plan that allowed Bing to operate as an intranet search service, not just an Internet search service.
At Ignite 2018, Microsoft reintroduced this feature as "Microsoft Search in Bing". This Intranet technology will be integrated into the new Edge based on Chromium, Windows 10, Office.com, various Office applications, and more.
As company executives mentioned a few years ago, the ultimate goal of Microsoft Search is to provide answers not only to simple questions, but also to more personalized and complex questions, such as "Can I get my pet to work?".
The Microsoft Graph API, the semantic understanding of Bing, the mechanical understanding of text, and the Office 365 storage and services substrate appear to play a major role in trying to develop a new search through Microsoft applications.
At Ignite 2019, its executives Microsoft they spoke a new smart search that understands the physics language. Semantic Search features are currently in preview for use on SharePoint, Office.com, and Bing. The public preview of semantic search will come in the first quarter of 2020.
General availability is later scheduled for 2020, and third-party developers wanting to use it in their applications will be able to do so from 2021, as company executives at Ignite reported.
The use of semantic search or Semantic Search is allowed by “Project Turing, Which Microsoft executives describe as "AI-powered search for the enterprise."
Project Turing aims to help overcome limitations in existing matching algorithms based on conditions' These algorithms were developed in the 1970s and 1980s and are still used by today's search engines. So these algorithms do not understand the user's intentions.
Project Turing will affect Microsoft Search and all products which will be integrated: Windows, Office, Cortana and Bing, according to the main manager of the program Youngji Kim.
"Our goal is to understand natural language using modern, generalized end-to-end deep learning models," he told Ignite participants.
