About this tag
The search engines tag covers practical guidance for changing search providers in Microsoft Edge on Windows. Tagged discussions explain how to replace Bing for address-bar searches with services such as Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Yandex, Startpage, or a corporate search portal. They also clarify that changing the address-bar default may not change the Bing-branded search box shown on a new tab. Coverage focuses on the relevant Edge settings path—Privacy, search, and services, then Search and connected services, followed by Address bar and search—and the need to select a provider after searching with it. This archive is useful for managing default search behavior in current desktop Edge versions.
