    Create Search Query - Add an action

    In Microsoft Copilot Studio, the Create search query action enables your agent to perform real-time searches based on user input, allowing it to retrieve up-to-date information from specified data sources. This functionality is particularly useful when your agent needs to access dynamic content or provide responses grounded in the latest available data.

     

    Using ‘Create search query’ in Conversations:

        1.    Add the Action to a Topic:

        •    Within your agent’s topic, insert the Create search query action at the appropriate point in the conversation flow.

        2.    Configure the Search Parameters:

        •    Define the data sources your agent should search. Options include: 

        •    Bing Web Search: Allows your agent to search public websites.

        •    Bing Custom Search: Enables tailored searches across specific content.

        •    Internal Resources: Such as documents uploaded to Dataverse or content from SharePoint sites.

        3.    Process and Display Results:

        •    After retrieving the search results, design your agent’s responses to present the information effectively to the user. 

     

    For detailed guidance on configuring and utilizing the Create search query action, refer to Microsoft’s official documentation:

        •    Search Public Data or Use a Bing Custom Search for Generative Answers Nodes:This article provides insights into setting up Bing Search configurations and creating tailored searches using Bing Custom Search.  

        •    Knowledge Sources Overview: This resource offers an in-depth look at integrating various knowledge sources, including public websites and internal documents, to enhance your agent’s responses.  

     

    By leveraging the Create search query action, you can enhance your agent’s ability to provide accurate and timely information, ensuring more engaging and informative interactions with users.
