[Done] Add a "Search by voice" option in the new tab page

There needs to be an option in the new tab page in Edge to initiate a web search using voice and picture (reverse image search), instead of having to go to the Bing and then click on the microphone icon, Or going to Bing images and doing the reverse search.

    this is now added to Edge Version 87.0.664.75 (Official build) (64-bit)

    (controlled feature rollout), it works perfectly. I have it on Edge stable but not canary

    Hello! 
    It seems the search by voice icon is gone from the new tab window now in Edge? On 3 different PCs I use it is gone. No policy restrictions. I miss it. Please let me know. Thanks

      Why has Microsoft removed "Search by voice" option in the new tab page?

      Microsoft please add it back ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

        I forgot to say "Search by voice" option is on the new tab page on Windows 11.

         

        But it is missing on all versions of Edge on Windows 10 😞

         

        The "Search by voice" option was actually on new tab page in the Canary builds for a while but it was removed the other day.

         

        So strange and I would really like Microsoft to tell us what is going on?
