How do you complete this Microsoft/Bing Rewards search for 10 points?:
UPDATE: Microsoft/Bing seem to have finally fixed this. I typed in 'illness' or 'illness symptoms' on the Edge mobile app and it completed, but I think it'll work anywhere using Bing now, with any relevant phrase or word.
It took them exactly 3 months to fix, whilst they continued to use it broken several times.
Feeling symptoms?
Search on Bing for any health
conditions or diseases to learn more
about the symptoms.

On Bing I have searched for symptoms, like dizziness and itchiness, etc, and diseases including leprosy to green monkey disease, plus, "Symptoms of Covid", etc.
I never get it to complete, be ticked off, and give me the points!
Broken or requires a very specific phrase.
NB: I think this is a UK-only problem. Anyone saying they completed it with a Bing search for a certain symptom or illness is probably not in the UK.
A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.

I finally got it by asking 'cure for .......' I'm thinking any illness will work.
I tried the free 'Touch VPN' on my laptop, set to USA, and even changed my Microsoft account location to USA, but the Reward still didn't unlock.
Although, I am not sure the Touch VPN/MS account actually changed my location to USA - the Rewards page still showed the "£4000 giveaway" box. I tried an Incognito browser tab too.
Not really worth getting a free mobile VPN to try to get the 10pts - I already have enough to last me a lifetime LOL.

My response from Lois was similar, makes you feel it’s an individual error. We all know otherwise!!
I am in the UK and no matter what I search for, I cannnot get these searches to work therefore unable to earn the rewards points, However, I changed my IP location via the use of a VPN, to the USA and bingo. I was able to get those points. Looks like Microshaft have something against the British. Another thing, the rewards tab is not showing on the mobile app for android today, so I am also unable to earn points for using the mobile app or completing one level of Jewel. Funny thing is, I changed my IP from the UK to the USA again on my mobile & the rewards tab was showing, so I was able to earn those points. Looks like changing your IP address using a VPN to the USA is the key.
Moderator note - the use of VPN is against the terms of the rewards program. Using a VPN to gain rewards is likely to get your Microsoft account removed from the reward system without notice.
