Microsoft is currently testing a new search feature for its flagship browser, Edge, as discovered by an eagle-eyed community member. Free to Early Access members through the Canary and Dev channels, the new Edge feature lets users perform searches using images as source information, rather than text. As screenshots shared by Reddit user Leopeva64-dos show, when browsing the image, Edge will offer a selection of pages as well as related information in a dedicated sidebar tab.

To access reverse image searches, Early Access users can right-click on an image and choose "Find Sidebar Image" from the dropdown menu. The feature builds on the existing "Search in Sidebar" feature for text, which launched in a full public version earlier this year. Aside from producing images and related web links, the new Edge Search will also extract any textual content, which could be especially useful for deciphering low-resolution images or for anyone with vision problems. Unsurprisingly, the new genre of search is powered by the Microsoft-owned Bing search engine.
