There are so many questions we have in our minds and these sometimes pop up in the middle of a task. Looking for answers online is easy but it usually takes time to open a browser when we are in a different application.
For example, you are working on an essay and disrupting your train of thoughts will only bring you back to square one. But, there is a fact that you want to verify. Opening a browser and waiting for it to load takes several seconds and soon will crash your thoughts.
Windows sees the problem and now offers an added feature that will eliminate the extra effort in searching online.
