The Windows 10 Search interface available via the taskbar or Start menu is an excellent tool as it shows results in your documents, media, people, programs, various Microsoft services and even on the Internet. However, web integration has been around for some time. First, it lacked the right integration with Microsoft’s new Chromium-based Edge browser, but that’s about to change as Microsoft launches a new Edge feature, enabling deeper integration with Windows Search.
If you have Windows 10 version 2004 / 20H2 or later installed, Windows 10 Search can retrieve information directly from Microsoft Edge, according to a report from Windows latest. This means, for example, that if you open certain tabs in Microsoft Edge, you’ll be able to see them in Windows Search. What’s more, even your favorites, browsing history, and top sites will appear in the Windows search results. There is also an option to enable sync in Microsoft Edge. If you have the browser installed on your mobile device (s), you can also access the browser history.

Currently, this feature is only available to a small group of testers using Microsoft Edge Canary version 91.0.831.0. Regardless, it currently does not work. According to the original Microsoft community message from the user who discovered this feature, disabling the data from Microsoft Edge shared with Windows will be removed, as well as stopping new browsing data if you want to maintain your privacy.
As for other features we expect for Windows Search, we can finally get a more consistent experience in dark mode. Currently, search results are displayed in a light theme that may change as Microsoft tests support for the original dark mode for Windows Search. There is also a possibility for adding weather and news widgets within the Windows Search layout.
