MicrosoftIntroducing sidebar search in Microsoft Edge
mayusuf I really like the sidebar so far! I've run into a few problems though.
1. I have to scroll left and right sometimes because the page doesn't fit in the sidebar. An easy fix would be to render code in the sidebar in mobile mode.
2. I can't close the sidebar. The only way to get out of it is to do Ctrl+K and close the tab with the sidebar in it.
3. There is way to go back to the previous page, for example if I hit the wrong link, I have to open the sidebar and do everything again.
mayusufcjc2112 Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you're giving Sidebar Search a try.
In case you missed it, if you scroll up, you'll see a close button beside the search box. We have also added a right click context menu in sidebar search which includes close and back options. Right now, sidebar search should show only bing pages, please send feedback via the feedback tool in Edge with details on your experience on seeing non-bing web pages in sidebar search. We will look into those cases.
Thanks!
mayusuf I don't seem to see a x anywhere in the sidebar.
Edit: i found out how to close it, a right click will bring up an option to close sidebar. Still no X.
- Please ensure your current user-agent is the Edge default. I met the identical problem just now, and after reset the user-agent it displayed normally. I used to set the UA to Chrome since my Gmail give me scrambled filename when downloading attachments.

- You can close clicking inside the sidebar with mouse right button then in the big dark gray space, click with mouse left button.
Looks like there's bug that not allow appear the close button.
