Microsoft Edge Chromium is loads better than the old Edge browser. It's noticeably faster, renders sites properly, and is a blast to surf with. But if you just migrated from Google Chrome or Firefox Quantum, you will notice that the default search engine is set to Bing. We will show you how to change the Search Engine to your favorite one in Microsoft Edge Chromium. I'm fine with healthy competition between search engines. But let's admit. Bing sucks when it comes to generating proper search results. I find Google to be much more adept at that. Or DuckDuckGo when it comes to preserving my privacy.
But regardless of your preferred search engine, Microsoft Edge Chromium doesn't make it easier to switch away from Bing. For starters, the option to change the default search engine on the address bar is tucked away, well out of view.
Furthermore, there's also a huge Bing search bar that blares at your face each time you launch a new tab. But don't worry — let's check out what you can do to switch search engines for both the address bar and new tabs.
The address bar in Microsoft Edge Chromium plays a huge role when it comes to performing searches. While the default search engine is set to Bing, you can change it to Google or any other search engine provided that you know where to go to within the browser's Settings panel.
Step 1: Open the Edge menu (click three-dot icon on upper-right corner of the window), and then click Settings.
Step 2: Click Privacy & Services on the left-side navigation pane.
Step 3: Scroll down the Privacy & Services screen until you come across the section labeled Services. Underneath, click the option labeled Address Bar.
Step 4: Do you want to make Google or Yahoo your default search engine? If so, use the pull-down menu next to Search Engine Used in the Address Bar, and then select either Google or Yahoo.
