Change default search provider in Chromium-based Edge browser
In this post I cover off how to change your default search provider in new chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser. The reason for writing this is because I just recently installed the new browser myself to have a play, and the first thing I wanted to do was change the default search engine in the address bar.
It has been that long since I needed to do this, I forgot how; and all the current articles are written for the current Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) version.
But it’s simple when you know where to go.
Click the 3 dots in the top right → Settings
Navigate to Privacy and Services → Address Bar
Next to Search engine used in the address bar, hit the drop down box and pick your new favourite search engine.
Easy as that. Enjoy.
