Microsoft is already testing image search without switching tabs in Edge within the Dev Channel

Microsoft continues to test the development versions of its Edge browser and is now testing a new option by which we can search for images from the browser's own sidebarand without having to leave the current page.

Image search uses Bing, as in the case of Chrome, it uses Google. A system that allows us to locate images on the web that are similar or that match the one we are looking for from an existing image.

Easier to find images

Among the improvements of the new Edge, the image search comes to the browser and it is enough to press the right mouse button or trackpad on the image that interests us. From the list of options we will have to choose and click on Search Bing image in the sidebar (Search Bing in sidebar for image). "

When clicking on this new option, the search results appear. Bing shows the information with similar images in the right column, appearing the field with the text, if the image includes it, which can be copied . Also, we can open the selected image in a new tab.

This new feature, discovered by user Leo Varela on Reddit, is in testing phase with a limited number of users, please So if you don't see it active even if you have the latest version of Edge, you shouldn't worry. In fact, I just tried and in my case it does not appear either.

This functionality, unlike the Search for image option on the web, which is the function that we all have, allows you to perform the search for an image in Bing without leaving the current page and without having to open a new tab, something that does happen with the first option mentioned above."

This tool can be very useful to identify people, places, products, locate a company, identify a logo or even search and extract text from an image among other optionsIn addition, we can use image search to find copyright-free images.
