The "search quiz" is really about a simple idea: Bing wants you to use Bing to answer its questions, and it's surprisingly good at handing you the fact you need. This page covers how to turn a quiz question into the right search and read the result.

Search the fact, not the whole question

Pasting the entire quiz question often surfaces copied answer pages or stale forum threads. Instead, pull out the subject and the specific thing being asked. For "which country is home to the ancient city of Petra," just search "Petra country" and read the answer panel.

Use Bing's answer features

After you search, Bing frequently shows a knowledge panel, a featured snippet, or a Copilot summary with the answer near the top. These are designed for exactly this kind of quick fact, so they're usually your fastest confirmation.

Verify the nuanced ones

For superlatives and dates, don't stop at the first short snippet. Open a reputable result, a museum, encyclopedia or official tourism page, and confirm, because words like "largest" and "oldest" depend on category and wording.

Earn while you're at it

If you're signed in, the legitimate searches you run as part of solving the quiz can also count toward your daily Microsoft Rewards search points, within the program's limits. It's a small bonus for doing the thing you were already doing.
