About this tag
The tag ab-test covers A/B testing experiments within Microsoft Edge and Windows, as seen in a recent thread about Edge Canary testing a Desktop Visual Search feature. This feature allows users to perform Bing-powered image lookups from a floating search box on the Windows taskbar, without opening a full browser window. The discussion highlights how Microsoft uses controlled experiments to gradually roll out new capabilities, blending visual search into desktop workflows. The tag is relevant for users interested in Microsoft's testing methodologies, Edge Canary builds, and experimental Windows features.
Microsoft Edge is quietly experimenting with a new Visual Search shortcut inside its floating desktop search box on Windows 11, letting users drop images onto a small camera-enabled UI and get Bing-powered image results — all without opening a full browser window first.
