Hello,

Queries in Tifinagh (ⵜⵉⴼⵉⵏⴰⵖ) script (Unicode U+2D30 – U+2D7F) return no results on Bing, while other search engines index them correctly (e.i google).

Please improve Bing’s handling of Tifinagh to support Amazigh users.

    Hi @DRHAGJ,   

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    Thank you for highlighting the significant technical gap regarding Bing’s handling of the Tifinagh script. It is an important observation regarding digital accessibility and search parity. 

    Currently, Bing’s crawlers may not properly recognize the Unicode range U+2D30 – U+2D7F. This lack of recognition causes the engine to treat these characters as "noise" rather than meaningful text, which explains why your searches are currently returning zero results despite the script's official status. 

    To effectively raise this concern with Microsoft, I recommend utilizing the Feedback link located at the bottom of the Bing search results page. 

    • Strategic Submission: Submitting your observation while directly on a "no results" page is particularly effective. This provides engineers with the exact search context needed to diagnose the specific indexing failure. 
    • Specific Details: When you submit, please highlight the specific Unicode range. Providing this technical data will help their teams precisely identify the character block that requires proper integration. 

    Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out at any time.
