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.
Learn today >
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.

I completed this Rewards search by just putting in the title, 'feeling symptoms' and i received my points!
did you ever get it working?
It’s possible that the task is encountering a bug. Normally, clicking "Learn today" should open a search results page with information about the task. If it instead takes you to the Bing home page, and searching for health conditions or diseases doesn’t complete the task, then it might indeed be an issue.
Opening a support ticket will help the Microsoft Rewards team understand the potential bug and work towards a fix. They can also ensure that similar issues are prevented in the future.
I will open a separate support ticket as well, including the steps you have tried.
"I don’t have the specific task on my Rewards dashboard, but usually, you just need to click "Learn today," which should open a search result."
'Learn today', when clicked, takes me to the Bing home page, but with the URL: https://www.bing.com/?form=ML2PCR&OCID=ML2PCR&PUBL=RewardsDO&CREA=ML2PCR&rwAutoFlyout=exb
I thought this was one of the specific searches that are different and quite recent, where you have to enter a phrase. Such as, from my screenshot above, 'Plan a quick getaway' required me to search for, e.g. "Flights to Dublin", and 'Discover open job roles' is something like, "McDonald's jobs."
It also states, "Search on Bing for any health
conditions or diseases."
If you're correct, and it's meant to be a standard click to earn, then it's just broken.
I used the Rewards support link to ask them what the secret search phrase is to unlock the reward.
