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!
Hi Elliot Kirk
Here is what I expect to use with Cortana integration into the new Edge browser
- Highlight a word or sentence and then tell Cortana (either with mouse or voice) to translate it to a different language. and how she will know which language to translate it to? she will know it from my voice or give me a list of available languages so I can select one with mouse/touch.
- do a quick search about a subject and show me on the right sidebar.
- when we right-click on an image and select "search for similar images", Cortana should show the result in her sidebar instead of opening the result in a new tab.
- please do allow us to change the default search engine of Cortana. this is really helpful and the lack of it is a Huge dealbreaker. it's been asked many many times for Cortana on Windows. enabling it for Cortana on Edge is a great start. Please don't limit us to use Bing only.
- not sure if this is possible but integrate the Cortana beta which is currently in Windows 10 insider fast and slow ring to the new Edge insider so that both versions can actively listen to the user's voice commands.
