Several replies here are useful for quick sanity checks (for example , and ), but for a reliable, actionable answer use Bing’s webmaster tooling rather than only hand-searching. The Webmaster dashboard gives explicit index status, crawl details and problem diagnostics so you see whether a URL is actually indexed and why it isn’t. (blogs.bing.com)

A compact workflow that avoids guesswork:

  1. Add and verify your site in Bing Webmaster Tools.
  2. Open Site Explorer to see which URLs Bing has discovered and how they’re classified (indexed, errors, excluded).
  3. For any URL, run the URL Inspection to view index status, last crawl, HTTP response, and the “live” rendering test — that output points to the exact technical or policy reason a page isn’t in the index. (blogs.bing.com)

If a page is missing from the index, push it intelligently: enable IndexNow (one-ping notification adopted by Bing and other engines) or use Bing’s URL submission/API for programmatic pushes (the API/plugin route is useful for automated publishing). These are intended to notify Bing quickly, but they do not guarantee indexing if the page has technical or quality issues. (blogs.bing.com)

When troubleshooting, run the site-scan/robots.txt tester and review meta-robots, canonical tags, redirects and HTTP codes — fix the root issue, then use URL Inspection and IndexNow/API to request re-evaluation. Expect some delay; submission is a request, not an instant promise. For scale, rely on Site Explorer and the API rather than manual queries. (blogs.bing.com)

Short, practical takeaway: use Bing Webmaster Tools (Site Explorer + URL Inspection) to get definitive index status and actionable diagnostics; use IndexNow or the submission API to notify Bing after fixes.

Why dont you just type your site address to search bar of Bing? if you could not find yours, then it looks like your site is not indexing yet

I think Rank Tracker from seo suite will solve your need. I usually used that but after reading an article about not to use rank checker.. I stopped it. You can use them.. but try them once in a week.

Just go to the bing and enter your domain name , if it appers in search results than it is obvious it is indexed and if it is not in the search results shown than you need to index your site .
