When I open a new tab in Microsoft Edge, I will most likely need to search for something and every time I expect my browser to search through Google, but instead, I am met each time with Bing search results. I understand that Bing is the default search engine and that I no longer own a Macbook, but I thought that there must be some way to change it. I have searched through the Edge Settings and I can not find a way to change the search engine for Edge from Bing to Google.

Please help

    This only works for the address bar. How do you stop Bing from being used from the search bar in the middle of the screen?
