For me, in version 86<, sidebar search is not working. The sidebar is white and it does a regular Bing search. HotCakeX and Deleted and MissyQ do you know how to fix this?

Cox would be your ISP, the company that provide you with Internet connection.search provider = search engine 🙂

Hi,Maybe try clearing browser data: edge://settings/clearBrowserDataim on 87 but its still working

HotCakeX That doesn't work. MissyQ and josh_bodner, can you help me?

Deleted I only have MS Rewards, MS Editor and Classlink OneClick for my son.

Kam I just followed up with them to see how the investigation is progressing. I'll let you know what I hear! Fawkes (they/them)Program Manager & Community Manager - Microsoft Edge

    HotCakeX But what can I do?! The feature was released, so I tested it out and sent feedback. What's wrong with that?

Kam and josh_bodner Thanks for looping me in; I'll bring this up with our sidebar team.

It looks like there's at least one current known issue with sidebar search, but I'm not yet sure if it's the same thing that you're encountering. So, if you haven't yet, can you please submit diagnostic data through the in-browser feedback tool? (Shift+Alt+I) And to confirm, do you see the same behavior on any other builds numbers/https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download?

  Hi Deleted, I don't have any of the channels installed. I'll attach the screenshot I used for the feedback.
  
  If you asked for Stable included (there's finally sidebar search on Stable) it also doesn't work. I can't install the other channels, because I don't have enough GB.

    Kam Also adding Deleted. Where are you trying to open the sidebar from (a webpage or a PDF), and what's your search provider set to?
