Use Copilot Search when you want a workflow step to search the web with Microsoft Copilot from Fetch Hive and pass the results into later workflow steps.

Example

Add Copilot Search from the Microsoft group in Search steps…. Set Name to something like Find Microsoft ecosystem coverage. Enter your query in Search Query.

Choose Location from the list or switch to Custom Value if you want to type a location or insert a variable. Choose what should happen in When the step fails. Click Run and review the returned results in Output before using them in a later step.

Notes

  • This step appears under Microsoft in the step picker, not under Research.
  • The editor does not show language, result count, or fallback controls for this step.
  • If you need the exact returned fields for later references, run the step once and inspect the variable picker.
