Introducing sidebar search in Microsoft Edge
Thank you for sharing.
There is one of the feature I missed from Internet Explorer which is Accelerator and I added Accelerator for the following:
Bing Map
Bing Translator
Send Email
I believe sidebar search could be smart in integrate with Bing and let say , if my default language for Microsoft Edge is English and I select text in Spanish, automatically show its translation (it should be general detection based on any language with Microsoft Edge and check default one and the select text one)
For the map, from the type of text it should be o detect the location and this could be integrate smart into the Bing.
Such a thing could be expand and become smart integration with Bing and let say it has Currency convertor, math , etc. when user select a text and do a search. More research should be done on this and you could get help from insiders like us.
As for send mail feature, it was like you select text and then you select send with Windows Live, it would open Windows Live Mail (today it is Outlook.com) and compose new email and add text into it. This is different story and there is need for different discussion about emails and Microsoft Edge.
However, my point is , it shouldn't be just a search instead it should be smart search to show result based on what has been searched and not just list of websites.
