Microsoft has decided to deactivate the Smart Smart Lookup (Smart Lookup) feature used by Microsoft Word users for years. With its prestige of January 1, 2025, this feature will no longer be used.
Microsoft announced the decision to remove the smart search feature used in Word. The company aims to direct users to the use of COPLOT AI with the removal attack of the smart search feature.
Smart search is getting into history
Since 2016, the smart search feature, which has been serving Word users, offered the opportunity to view the recipes, synonyms and various web resources of words and expressions. However, Microsoft announced that it will be completely removed from both the subscription -based version of Word and the independent Office 2024 package. A remarkable detail is that although the Copilot AI is not included in the independent Office 2024, this feature has been removed from the package.
When users are currently trying to use the smart search feature, the search results are not installed and a illusion message is displayed on the screen. This step by Microsoft is a breakthrough by the integration of Copilot AI into a wider usage area.
The smart search was integrated with Microsoft’s Bing Search Engine, allowing Word users to provide quick access to information. However, the removal of this feature shows that users may have to turn to COPİLOT AI in information search processes. The feature, which will be completely disabled in 2025, has already stopped offering search results.
