nicrosoft edge search

Question

Before the last update of Edge, we used to be able to type searches in the address bar and in the settings tell it what search engine to use. Now Microsoft is dictating that we have to use Bing. With all due respect, bing sucks. Please put the option back or I'll be using a different browser. Thank you!!!!

Now Microsoft is dictating that we have to use Bing.

The default search engine for Microsoft Edge is Bing. But if you need to use another search engine as default, you just need to navigate to edge://settings/search in Edge. Change the drop-down list in the Search engine used in the address bar option to select the search engine you need.

Something like this:
