Microsoft has filed a patent for a "mediation component" that records everything you type in every application and sends it to Bing/Cortana as part of your search query the next time you do a search. "The search engine (e.g., Bing and Cortana) uses contextual rankers to adjust the default ranking of the default suggested queries to produce more relevant suggested queries for the point in time. The operating system, comprising the function of mediation component, tracks all textual data displayed to the user by any application, and then performs clustering to determine the user intent (contextually)."
Keep in mind this is a patent and not a product feature and most patents never see the light of day.
