Instant Search (Android Edge)

Iron Contributor

I opened up Edge on my android phone about a month ago and I found a new feature where a search box card would open up from below giving me search results whenever I highlighted anything. Unfortunately, I had to reset my phone a while back and I got put into an old version of Edge on android with the old UI. The new UI was just updated for me a few days ago, but the instant search function has not come back yet. Has the feature been removed? It really liked it.

Hi,
I think you were using Edge beta on Android and now you're back to stable channel
Any way to go back though?

Search for Microsoft Edge on Google play, scroll down and there should be a place where you can enroll in Beta program.

 

When I go to Google play on my phone (Android 9), i see this because I already enrolled in Beta program

I am already enrolled in the program.
Try uninstall and reinstall it again?

The new UI is an A/B testing. You can try triggering it by syncing your favorites with the new Edge instead of Legacy

Nope. Did not work. Oh well.
I actually was not talking about the new UI. I already have it. I was talking about the instant search thing where I get search results from bing from highlighted text.
