Search engine customization

Note

You've reached the documentation for Microsoft Edge version 45 and earlier. To see the documentation for Microsoft Edge version 77 or later, go to the Microsoft Edge documentation landing page.

Microsoft Edge, by default, uses the search engine specified in App settings, which lets users make changes. You can prevent users from making changes and still use the search engine specified in App settings by disabling the Allow search engine customization policy. You can also use the policy-set search engine specified in the OpenSearch XML file in which you can configure up to five additional search engines and setting any one of them as the default.

Relevant group policies

You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor unless otherwise noted in the policy:

      Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge\

Configuration options

Set default search engine configurations

Set default search engine

Supported versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, version 1703 or later
Default setting: Not configured (Defined in App settings)

By default, Microsoft Edge uses the search engine specified in App settings, letting users make changes at any time unless the Allow search engine customization policy is disabled, which restricts users from making changes. With this policy, you can either remove or use the policy-set search engine. When you remove the policy-set search engine, Microsoft Edge uses the specified search engine for the market, which lets users make changes to the default search engine. You can use the policy-set search engine specified in the OpenSearch XML, which prevents users from making changes.

Specify a link to the OpenSearch XML file that contains, at a minimum, the short name and the URL template (HTTPS) of the search engine. For more information about creating the OpenSearch XML file, see Search provider discovery. Use this format to specify the link you want to add.

If you want your users to use the default Microsoft Edge settings for each market, then set the string to EDGEDEFAULT.

If you would like your users to use Microsoft Bing as the default search engine, then set the string to EDGEBING.
