Ask Cortana / Ask Bing - Discussion
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!
It can be done without Cortana
there is already these elements in the browser
search for "..." option
Sidebar
See what I mean?
they already made those 2 elements. they can just create another sidebar so the (search for "..." ) results will be shown in that sidebar, without the need for Cortana.
Cortana should be smarter than that.

Vini,
That is a rather neat idea.
I'll suggest it's a marketing thing to keep Cortana in Users' thoughts & awareness. May help bring them to all the powerful assistance it can bring to their lives, all the talents & tools it offers (including search).
NB: Search & Cortana are, also, now separated. Search is all well & good, but, Cortana is that & a whole lot more (for people). Ergo, there is a desire to have people thinking of & using Cotana (for their benifit).
Cheers,
Drew- Looks like Edge developers are only considering Cortana to do a sidebar search in the browser, very limited ability to be honest, I hope they expand it and make the whole browser smart with the Cortana AI.
- Yeah, better save Cortana for smarter abilities 🙂
