Microsoft Edge's new AI browser history understands typos

Microsoft is testing a new AI feature for its Edge browser that enables smarter search within your browsing history. This enhanced history search lets you find visited websites using phrases, synonyms, or even misspelled words similar to the site you’re looking for.
The AI-powered history search began rolling out in Microsoft Edge beta versions last week. “Once enabled, websites you visit will appear in enhanced history search results,” Microsoft states in the beta channel release notes. “An on-device model uses your data for training, which remains local to your device and is never transmitted to Microsoft.”
This optional feature presents fewer privacy concerns than Microsoft’s Recall tool, which captures screenshots of nearly all activity on Copilot Plus PCs to simplify locating websites, photos, and documents. Using an on-device model limited to browser history is more secure than storing all screen activity in a local database.
In addition to the AI-enhanced browsing history, Microsoft is introducing a media control center in Edge that allows you to manage multiple media sources from websites. This hub provides quick access to Edge’s picture-in-picture mode—which is also receiving improved controls—as well as the ability to manage music, videos, or other audio playing within the browser.
