    Taskbar web search results

    While it has nothing really to do with the taskbar, it just your web searches to return screen reader friendly results

    From the Edge Webpage:

    "Search for anything on the web or your device using the search box on the Windows taskbar. If you use a screen reader, follow these steps to make the web search results open in Internet Explorer instead of Microsoft Edge"
