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!
That is an option of the old browser that stood out before the other browsers, I also think it is important to add the option to select only one word to be able to translate it, option that if it exists in the old Edge, and not in the new one, translates the whole page and I would like you to add both options that are very helpful to me personally. I hope you'll add both functions. Ask Cortana, is an option like yourself you mention it of being able to search for something without leaving the window, a quick view; for example: of a meaning of a word, a quick response to a doubt of a word you find, and good for me if that option serves me a lot and I've been waiting a lot for it, is one of the reasons why I don't totally switch to the new Edge.
Tbh these are great features but I don't see how they need an AI (Artificial Intelligence) like Cortana.
any browser can implement these features without an AI.
Microsoft needs to look up to Google Assistance and how smart it is in Android, then make Cortana like that.
Opera, Yandex etc all are based on Chromium and they already have some of these features (translations, sidebar view etc) without Cortana AI.
maybe Microsoft's definition of AI is different than that of the rest of the world?

- Well, personally, I like me use Cortana. Although it is known that it is not on a par with the other AI, I get used to the use that I have with this one; to me, it shows me the results I want, I have no problems with that. Although it would be a good option to have different AI in the browser.
