Microsoft is making visual search faster and easier with a new update to Microsoft Edge. The browser now supports image-based search directly from the Edge Search Bar on desktop.
The new feature allows users to upload an image file or simply drag and drop an image into the search bar to instantly view related search results.
Edge Search Bar Gets Visual Search Support
Microsoft’s latest addition brings AI-powered visual search capabilities directly into the Edge desktop experience. Instead of typing keywords manually, users can now search using images.
The feature works by:
- Uploading an image file
- Dragging and dropping an image into the search bar
- Instantly generating related visual search results
This makes it much easier to identify products, landmarks, objects, and other visual content online.
A Faster Way to Search From Images
Visual search is becoming increasingly important across modern browsers and AI platforms. Microsoft is now integrating it deeper into Edge to make everyday searching more intuitive.
The feature can be useful for:
- Finding products seen online
- Identifying gadgets or accessories
- Discovering similar images
- Searching information from screenshots
- Looking up fashion or design inspiration
Instead of describing something with text, users can simply use the image itself.
Microsoft Continues Expanding AI Features in Edge
Microsoft has been rapidly adding AI-powered tools into Edge and Windows. Visual search fits into the company’s broader strategy of making search more interactive and multimodal.
The update also improves convenience for users who frequently work with screenshots, saved images, and visual references during browsing sessions.
As AI search evolves, features like drag-and-drop image lookup are likely to become standard across browsers.
Final Thoughts
The new visual search feature makes Microsoft Edge even more useful for desktop users. With simple image uploads and drag-and-drop support, finding information visually is now faster and more accessible.
For users who prefer searching through images instead of text, this could become one of Edge’s most practical updates yet.
