No matter where you start your work or school search, the results will always be private and secure. Users authenticate by signing in to their Microsoft Entra account and only see results for files, sites, and other information shared with them.

Also, all search requests from Microsoft Search in Bing are made over HTTPS and the connection is encrypted. Work searches on Bing are de-identified and logs are separated from public search traffic.
