Ask Cortana / Ask Bing - Discussion
Hello Insiders!
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are excited to announce sidebar search - the first step in our evolution of contextual search in the new Microsoft Edge.
You can find more details about sidebar search in this post - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/introducing-sidebar-search-in-microsoft-edge/m-p/1406242
Thanks!
On a related note, one thing really useful for me in the current version of Edge, is when I write in the address bar for something like:
"300 usd to eur"
"weather/time in Rome"
I can see the result straight away in the address bar

Ah, very good point. Can put math 'questions' & all sorts of things, too. It's Bing, really, of course. You raise another good point, at least with Edge... the address box is, in fact, both for URLs and it's Search, too. People oft times forget that it is both. Bing will give results for whatever is put in there. Edge #2 sort of does it/the same, but, not as well or exactly the same way as Edge #1. Edge #1 does it much more & better. Put the same in each, results are quite different and differently presented. Edge #1 gives the answer, Edge#2 gives search (page) options or offerings, various links, depending what was inputted. But, your point is absolutely valid.
Cheers,
Drew
