Microsoft introduced sidebar search in the Edge browser last year, providing users with web results such as definitions, images, useful links, and anything relevant to that query. Google is now developing the same feature for Chrome as sidebar search, which Chrome Canary users can use after enabling the relevant flag.
IT House has learned that the sidebar search feature allows any text in a web page to be highlighted in order to find more information about it on the web without opening a new tab. Search results are displayed in a pane to the right of the current web page, showing all relevant links, images, definitions, videos, and everything related to that text.
Microsoft Edge users already use this feature. Now, Chrome Canary users can also search quickly without distraction. Chrome Canary sidebar search is exactly the same as Edge. All the user needs to do is select a text and right-click on it. Doing so will bring up the context menu where you will find some options called “Search on Google…”. The user can now click on the option to display the side pane with all relevant information related to the highlighted text.

Google Chrome Canary sidebar search appears to be only available to some users for now.
According to a Reddit user, Google will also introduce another option in the context menu that will open a new tab instead of showing the side panel.
