Web search in GitHub Copilot Chat now available for Copilot Individual

GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code, Visual Studio, and GitHub.com now supports web search, enabling you to easily chat about recent events, new developments, trends, and technologies. This feature is already available for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise.

To get started, first enable the “Copilot Access to Bing” policy in your Copilot Settings.

Then try it out with Copilot Chat by asking a question that would benefit from web search. Here are some examples:

  • What's the latest release of node.js
  • What are some recent articles about SAT tokens securing against vulnerabilities in Node?
