Bing tests showing full URLs in Copilot search

Bing is testing a change in Copilot search that shows the entire URL for a result. this is different from how Google handles links within AI Overviews. Instead of showing the full URL, Google displays anchor text. clicking on it takes the user directly to that website.

Here is a screenshot of how Bing Copilot shows the whole URL.

This test doesn’t appear to have rolled out widely yet. Personally, I’m not a fan of showing the full URL in Copilot it doesn’t feel like the cleanest presentation. I think Bing could test other formats instead, similar to how anchor text works, which would likely look better.
