Welcome to the sidebar search page in Chrome Canary on Windows

In the latest update to the Chrome Canary browser on Windows, Google has brought a handy feature that enables search in the side panel. It allows you to compare search results with currently open pages and find what you are looking for faster.

To test the new side search in Chrome, you’ll need to update your browser to the latest Canary version and enable one of the experimental flags. Navigate to chrome://flags, set the “Side Search” feature to “Enabled”, and restart Chrome.

With Side Search turned on in Chrome, type a search request and click a link in the results, then you can press the left G button from the address bar to trigger the side panel with Google Search. Clicking another link in the search results will open a website on the same tab.

Google Chrome isn’t the only browser that offers search in the sidebar. A similar feature has been in Microsoft’s Edge for a while now, although some might argue that Microsoft’s implementation looks more accessible and understandable. Right-click on any word or phrase on Edge’s wide-open web page and select “Search in the sidebar.” The Google browser needs to open a new tab, enter a search term, open a link, and then the browser will display the side search button.

We should note that side search in the current version of Chrome Canary is only an experimental feature. It will take a while for Google to improve side search and deliver it to the stable channel (or not at all). In the meantime, you can download Chrome Canary, test new features, and share your feedback with Google for future improvements.
