Bing Custom Search: Including Subpages for links deeper than 2 subpages: Any Workarounds?

Hello Everyone,

I am working on implementing the use of Bing Custom Search into my Copilot bot but I am a little confused with adding links and I was looking for some clarification.

1. When I try to add a link with more than 2 subpages, I get this message (text in red) saying that "Including Subpages is not supported for entries deeper than two subpages." Can I simply trim off the end of the link until I get to two subpages in the link and use that?

After Trimming Link: Image

I believe this method would work IF Bing Custom Search can go down as many sub pages as it wants, if there is a cap to how many subpages it can explore then that wont suffice.

2. If the above method won't work for whatever reason, is there something I can do with the Bing Custom Search API to allow or workaround the limit of two subpages? I have development experience so I am not intimidated by any exploration, coding, or research that comes along with this route.

3. Or if there is another workaround that you have used and have had success with, I would love to hear about it.

I understand there are lots of questions on this post, but I hope I can get some answers from you guys.

Thanks so much,
