As we all know that Microsoft had developed it's Own web browser based on Chromium open source code instead of their Internet Explorer where replaced the same as well. After launching the application to public till now Microsoft pushed many updates to the app and in the same line now Microsoft is planning to include anther feature into the application which is Bing’s visual search. Apart from the ability to search images through an option in the right-click context menu, there’s now also a dedicated visual search button that appears when you hover over images. We already know that google already integrated their Lens into Google chrome like wise Microsoft integrated their visual search option in edge browser. Let us see how you can get that feature in the Microsoft Edge browser.
Microsoft's Visual Search :
Visual search is a Microsoft's feature that lets you look up images from websites on Microsoft’s search engine Bing, Which can be used in Edge browser. The feature will come in handy for anyone who frequently searches images for the source or looking for similar images, it is merged with edge browser long back but it can be accessed through using bing search engine. Microsoft has been testing the Visual Search feature since Edge 96, Now it is enabled it by default with Edge 99. Here's how you can enable it.
Process to Enable the feature :
=> Open Edge browser and go to settings by clicking on three dots on the top right side
=> Navigate to Appearance tab Click on Visual Search option under Context menu options :
=> Enable “Show visual search in the context menu” and “Show visual search on image hover” switches. Now you can get the option to hover over any image to search it on Bing.
This is how you can enable the visual search in Microsoft Edge browser and you can also disable the same from the process by disabling those 2 options in above screenshot.
Disable for Specific Websites in Microsoft Edge :
If you don't want to use this visual search on some websites you can block those specific websites. So that you won't get this feature on that particular websites. Here is how you can do that
=> Open Edge browser and go to settings by clicking on three dots on the top right side
=> Navigate to Appearance tab Click on Visual Search option under Context menu options :
=> Click on the “Add” button next to the “Visual search is turned off for these sites” option.
=> Now type or paste the URL of the website you would like to disable visual search on. After entering the URL, click the “Add” button, and you are all set. The browser will no longer show the visual search button on this specific website.
=> If you want to use this feature again on blocked site, click on the trash icon next to website’s name to make Visual Search functional on that website.
This is how you can Exempt a specific website to avoid using the feature and how you can delete the same from list and personally we advice you to turn this off this feature for your back up or cloud storage sites which will avoid searching your personal pics accidentally.
