Let me back to Internet Explorer, we had something call Accelerator and let say in one website I select address and use accelerator and it shows location in Bing map. I select non-English text and it translate it to English, so I don't have to copy them and open new tab and then go to translator, map or other website and paste it to see it.
Cortana in Microsoft Edge did similar task but it has some limitation. What I want is smart way and let say when I click on address, it shows location inside current page and not new tab , same for weather, translators and so on. It is also good to search name and something in Bing.
Therefore, we need this Cortana feature but with more flexibility of view , so user could select if show it in right side or in mini windows like accelerators in Internet Explorer.
