Now you can filter your search as you type. Use person and source filters right in the Search box to refine results instantly. Get smart suggestions and see only what matters, all without leaving the box. 1. When “person” or “source” is typed, a list of relevant filter suggestions appears. This helps auto-complete the filter expression and enables effective pre-scoping. 2. Once filters are applied in the Search box, all subsequent suggestions are refined based on those filters.

Imagine you're in a large library looking for a specific book. Without any guidance, you might spend a lot of time wandering through aisles and shelves. Now, picture having a librarian by your side who knows exactly where everything is and can guide you directly to the section you need. This is similar to what Microsoft Copilot's new search feature does for you in Microsoft 365.
When you start typing in the search box, it's like asking the librarian for help. You can specify what you're looking for by mentioning a person or a source, and Copilot will instantly suggest relevant filters, much like the librarian suggesting which section or author to look for. This helps you narrow down your search right from the start, so you don't have to sift through unnecessary information.
Once you've applied these filters, every suggestion you see will be tailored to your needs, much like the librarian showing you only the books that match your criteria. This means you spend less time searching and more time finding exactly what you need.
In essence, Microsoft Copilot acts as your digital librarian, helping you find the right information quickly and efficiently, without leaving the search box. This streamlined process is designed to save you time and effort, making your workday a little bit easier.
