Hi,
you can use this extension, or find other extensions that do the same thing:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/highlight-to-search/floipahigmmkfhkoapmnijnlnboniglg/related
"directly search the selected word in that website"
that would be CTRL + F or from ellipsis (...) menu, search on page.
to search the web for a highlighted text, using the search engine of your preference: edge://settings/search
right-click and select "search the web for..."
to use sidebar, using Bing engine, highlight the text, right-click, "Search in Sidebar for ...."
not everyone wants to see a popup show up everywhere they click or highlight, and right-click (or on touch screen devices, hold with finger) is Not troublesome or hard at all, it's a normal procedure used in all kinds of software and apps.
that's why there are extensions, so anyone that wants to have a feature, can install the extension and use it, without affecting other people's experience.
