But on my machine, it is still not available. When I go to Windos Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Search Permissions, I see "Show Search Hightlights" option is disabled and greyed out. So, I can't enable it at all. And my search UI is stuck with the old UI.Looks like the new "Bing Chat in Search" also re

  2. Search Highlight !

    Good morning, I downloaded the optional update KB5011543 today, I was hoping to get the "Search Highlight" feature in my search box but can't see anything ! I think the update came with various fixes but no sign of the Search highlights !! I have right clicked on the taskbar and checked search but nothing suggested ! Do I have to turn it on somewhere ?

    Windows Search Highlights option is greyed out

    No more "Search" on highlighted text?

    Hello,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused. There is no option to search on the highlighted text in Microsoft Edge. I would suggest you to use Internet Explorer so that you can use the search option on the highlighted text.

    Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for any further issue on Windows Operating System. We will be happy to help you.
