Hello, it's almost 3 months i have this problem, i use Microsoft Edge with Bing Search Engine.

Everytime i do a search Bing give me this error: "No results were found for..." and the error Ref A: Ref: B Ref: C both of them followed by a string of number that everytime change.

I tried everything, from deleting cookies to flushdns, i also contacted Microsoft support 3 times where we repaired Windows but the error still occur.

This happens also on the Microsoft Edge app with Bing as a search engine.

Search works only when i use InPrivate and this is frustrating, both because i cannot search normally and because i cannot use Microsoft Rewards properly.

I have noticed there are posts dated back to 2015 that talk about this error but no solutions are around, and as of today this problem is not fixed.

Do you know a fix that i'm not aware of?

Should i just put Google as a search engine?

Thank you in advance for the help!

    Yeah, i definitely reported this to Bing as i am not able to solve it permanently. I have to clear cache and cookie every day and that gets frustrating, but i don't give up and wait a future update that maybe can fix this problem.

    Thank you for your answer!

    Hello, Gabriel665

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

     I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with Bing search using Microsoft Edge. I can understand how frustrating it must be to not get the results you are looking for. There are a few possible reasons why you are getting this error message. Some of them are:

    • Your browser settings or extensions may be interfering with Bing search. You can try disabling any extensions or add-ons that you have installed on your browser, or resetting your browser settings to default.
    • Your network connection or firewall may be blocking or slowing down Bing search. You can try checking your network settings and making sure that Bing is not blocked by your firewall or antivirus software. You can also try using a different network or a VPN to see if that improves your search results. Learn more about network troubleshooting steps here: Fix Wi-Fi connection issues in Windows - Microsoft Support
    • Your region or language settings may be incompatible with Bing search. You can try changing your region or language settings on your browser or on Bing.com to match the ones that you prefer.
    • There may be a temporary issue with Bing search or Edge. You can try waiting for a while and retrying your search later, on try again on another browser.

    If none of these steps works, consider reporting the issues you're experiencing. This allows Microsoft to gather information and potentially address the problem. To submit feedback to the developers, open Bing, and click on ≡ (on the right top corner)> Feedback.

    If you have any other questions or feedback, please feel free to let me know. 

    Best regards

    Hi,

    do you have any news about the problem?

    I get the same error but only then I am loggedin in my Microsoft account. Do I logout I can use the search. In the developer console I saw CSP errors. Maybe that's also an problem.

    I also have the problem on all my devices. Laptop, smartphone and Tablet.
