Change Search Engine In Microsoft Edge

Enjoy Microsoft Edge but aren’t too keen on using Bing as your search engine? You can switch the default search engine for your address bar to whatever you choose.

It’s not difficult to do but Microsoft sure doesn’t make it easy to find. Let’s learn how.

Start by opening Edge. Click the three-dot menu icon and choose Settings from the drop-down menu.
