Cortana Meets Edge

Cortana, as you may recall from Chapter 5, is your voice-controlled
personal assistant. Microsoft says she’s at work in Edge, too, although

you’ll soon discover that there’s very little resemblance to the cheerful
assistant who lives on the taskbar.

Microsoft is referring to these fledgling features in Edge:

Instant answers in the address bar. We’re talking about weather,
stocks, and definitions. Type weather 10024 or goog or define

perspicacious into the address bar, and a panel pops up with the
temperature, stock price, or definition even before you press Enter
(Figure 9-10). You never leave the page you were reading.

Instant info in an article. You’re reading along, and you
encounter a reference to, let’s say, vegan cooking. What is that,

exactly? Highlight the text. Right-click it or hold your finger down
on it. From the shortcut menu, choose “Ask Cortana about [your
word],” and boom: A panel opens on the right side of the window

with a lot more information about whatever it is you highlighted. A
company, a person, a place, a word you need defined (Figure 9-10,
middle).
