A search bar be joinin' the main URL bar, makin' it easier fer ye to find yer treasures on the high seas o' the internet.Instead o' havin' a long URL bar, ye'll now have a shorter address bar with a search bar right next to it. This way, ye can keep yer web addresses separate from yer web searches, and choose yer own search engine to plunder.Arr, why split search into a second bar, ye ask? Well, 'tis more convenient, me hearties! Instead o' openin' a new tab every time ye want to search while readin' a page, ye can now stay on the same tab, type yer query in the search bar, and find yer loot in a new tab!But beware, this be a feature still in testin', with a limited rollout to the Canary version of Edge. Some scallywags may find it useful, while others think it be a waste o' space in the interface. 'Tis all up to personal preference, so ye can toggle it off if ye wish.Keep in mind, me mateys, that privacy be a concern with this new feature.
