What is not covered here?

Microsoft does not remove organic search results in response to a trademark complaint. The content of websites appearing in organic search results is wholly controlled by the website’s owner. Please raise any objection about the content of such websites directly with the owner of that website.

Issues in ads other than intellectual property

The forms above are specifically for reporting complaints related to intellectual property infringement. If you have found an occurrence of a low-quality ad on Microsoft Bing or Yahoo, please fill out the Low quality ad submission & escalation form to report spam or malicious ads.
