Edge Side Bar

Ok, now I see the confusion and why I saw something unfamiliar in one of your snips.

What you're discussing isn't the Edge Bar nor what I know of the Sidebar. And maybe it is a Controlled Rollout that explains it. Yes, I can (in Dev or Win11) Rt Clk text & > Search in sidebar, BUT I do not have the strip on the right edge of it. Maybe eventually.

And there's mention of it working with images, in the future. For a while, Search image in sidebar WAS, also, in the Rt Clk menu. That has come & gone a few times, whilst they have been 'working' on it. Certainly, the 'new' strip has heaps more stuff & power/abilities. I will watch for it. I have kind of neglected looking at Edge Dev or Canary for a while. Do you have it in all 3 Edge channels?

Yes, I have all 3, the Official Edge Build, Canary, and Dev versions, they all behave different, one has one of the 2 features, or the other, some have both, and other ones have none. 🤣🤣🤣

Completely inconsistent and typical MS. 😝

Seems like another of those controlled rollouts, that maybe why you have not seen it yet. 😎

That can also explain why I don't see it on all my machines even if EDGE is at the same level. 😝

Perhaps they will only keep one of the two options, they seem redundant anyway.

It's fun keeping your sidebar comments & Edge Bar comments separated 🤣

But, seriously, Folks...

Will be interesting to see what response you garner to the thread you link here ☝️

No idea. As I said earlier, I do not have that toggle anywhere.
