Microsoft has a new sidebar in the works for its Edge browser. First spotted by Leo Varela, who shared images of the feature in action on Reddit, the sidebar will allow you to search the internet from a web app without having to navigate to another page.
A sidebar is already available in Edge, though it is a bit more difficult to access. If you highlight text within a web app (or on any webpage), you’ll see the option to search in the sidebar for whatever you have selected. You can also highlight text and press CONTROL+SHIFT+E to search in the sidebar.
The new way to access the sidebar is in testing in Edge Canary. You’ll have to enable a flag titled “Web App Sidebar” to use it. It’s part of a controlled rollout, which means you may not be able to try out the feature even if you’re on the latest build of Edge Canary.

An upcoming feature for Microsoft Edge will let you open the sidebar by clicking an icon within the title bar of a web app.
