With the new version 101 of the Canary channel for Windows, Chrome has introduced a side panel which contains the search results and allows at the same time to continue viewing a site . The functionality is similar to Edge's Sidebar option and was already introduced in Chrome OS last year.
If you want to activate it , you must obviously use a Windows computer and set Google as the default search engine.
- open the browser Chrome
- go to chrome: // flags
- search Side search , in the drop-down menu next to it select “ Enabled “and restart your browser.
To use it,
- search for something in the Google search bar
- click on any of the search results , the side search icon is displayed first in the address bar on the left side.
- clicking on the icon opens the results in the side panel
- clicking on each search engine result in the left side panel shows the page in the same tab while the side panel is locked.
- to close the side panel, click on the icon G
The function is still experimental , so it may not work correctly , we hope that in the future it will also support other search engines such as DuckDuckGo.
