When I try to search for a website that was registered in web history in Edge in the past, I can't get any results. Edge's history page doesn't automatically reload past histories to include them in the search this page: edge://history/all needs to be able to actively get older web history entries from our Microsoft account to make the web history search actually practical and useful. not only the past 2-3 weeks, but go back months. sent feedback using feedback button on Edge, if you like the idea i encourage you to do the same, that will act like an "upvote" for this thank you3.1KViews3likes11CommentsSuggestion: Search Across All Tabs
It would be nice to be able to select if I want to (CTRL-F) search across all tabs or the current active tab. From a work perspective, I will open multiple tabs regarding articles, or Microsoft's latest patch CVE notes. It would be great to be able to search for something across all articles that are opened and loaded.2.2KViews2likes3CommentsNew floating button for the Web Widget in Edge
you can drag and drop it you can put it anywhere on the screen but it's sticky, so it automatically sticks to sides. if you drag and drop it on the center of your screen, it automatically sticks to one of the 3 sides, (Top, Right, Left), also got smooth animation when it sticks. it stays always on top of other windows (except for full screen games which I just tested) can be turned on and off using the option shown in the screenshot below How do you launch Web Widget? it launches automatically on Windows startup (unless you disable it from Edge settings or Windows settings) you can launch it by right-clicking on Edge canary shortcut on Start menu and selecting "Launch Web Widget" you can launch it from Edge settings page: edge://settings/newTabPage you can launch it by pressing Edge's (...) menu button => More tools => Launch Web Widget Microsoft Edge Version 90.0.816.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) This might be a Controlled feature rollout7KViews2likes2CommentsEdge sidebar is good but this makes it less useful
I can highlight a piece of text and search for it in the sidebar, but the moment I click on a link in sidebar, it opens a new tab! this the opposite of what I expect and want. I want to search for something in sidebar and keep using the sidebar to complete my search. the whole idea is not to leave your current tab and do your search, right? but with this behavior, the user is interrupted and taken to a different tab. another option I see missing is to right-click on a link and open it in sidebar. last thing, make the sidebar panel resizable1.1KViews2likes2Commentsoptional suggestion: new menu bar app for mac
i wish i could launch one of my edge profile (no matter from which edge) directly in the menu bar. so you create a profile launcher.app and then i can search a profile installed on my 4 browser, without need to launch a browser. at the moment we can do similar things once the browser is launched using the dock icon or using the sync icon or using the menu bar option inside edge. but there is still the limit that we can do it for one browser. we cannot search profiles installed on all 4 browser. plus every time you launch the browser, you open the last used profile. so we first need to close and then switch (which requires time). profile switching is slower in edge compared to google. now with this new app you would simply launch a profile inside an edge app, without launching the previous profile.4.3KViews2likes10Comments[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.7KViews2likes21CommentsAn Interesting Feature: Replacing URLs With Search Queries in Address Bar
In Microsoft Edge, there is a flag called: Query in Omnibox What it does is, basically in search results, instead of showing you an ugly long address, it shows you an easier to read text. Compare: (Query in Omnibox: Off) (Query in Omnibox: On)3.1KViews2likes2Comments
