![]() But if anyone can do it, why not the company with courage in its name?” Others with deeper pockets and better name recognition have tried to slay the search giant, only to end up an afterthought. Even a user who prefers another search engine might, if stymied, find it useful to try Brave, for a fresh look at the trail.Ĭarpenter comments in an e-newsletter, “Brave’s odds of threatening Google’s dominance are pretty long. ![]() Brave established a third English language search dataset. Also, as web developer Nathan Jacobson has pointed out, only two major English language indexes exist - Google’s and Bing’s and most search “alternatives” are using those datasets. But, as Carpenter reports, that search engine appears to have compromised its no-tracking policy by allowing Microsoft a carve-out. With this change, Microsoft is finally allowing you to change both search bars so that you can sync them up (if you so choose) to whatever primary search engine you choose to use.Now, DuckDuckGo, which also claims it doesn’t track users, reported 35.3 billion queries in 2021. So if you wanted Google as the default search engine for Edge, using the address bar would get you Google search results, but using the search bar widget would only give you Bing results. ![]() That search bar widget would not change search providers, even if you manually changed it in the address bar. the browser’s default New Tab Page includes a search bar widget where users can search in either the address bar or the search bar widget in the middle of the page. Changing that search engine provider would only change the search engine used in the address bar however. Out of the box, the browser chooses Bing, but you can go into the settings menu and change that. Since the stable build was widely released, Edge has offered Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo as default search engine options. Now You: Have you tried the new Edge browser yet?

The change is active immediately, a restart is not required.Change the "search engine used in the address bar" if you have not done so already.The first option is the default, the second uses the address bar search provider for searches in the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser. The two available options are "search box (bing)" or "address bar". The preference "Search on new tabs uses search box or address bar" defines which search engine is used when you run searches on the New Tab page.Note that you need to switch the search engine from Bing to another before you get the option to change the New Tab page search provider as the option is not listed otherwise.You may also select Menu > Settings > Privacy, search and services > Address Bar and Search to get there. Load edge://settings/search in the Microsoft Edge address bar this opens the Search preferences of the browser.Here is what you need to do to change the New Tab page search provider in Microsoft Edge (Chromium): The change is available in all versions of Microsoft Edge, including Microsoft Edge Stable. ![]() It is currently available in Microsoft Edge Canary but will become available in Stable versions of Microsoft Edge soon as well. This changes this month with the introduction of a new option. While it is possible to change the default search provider in edge when using the address bar to search, it did not sit well with some users of the browser that the New Tab page search provider could not be changed. Up until now, users of the new Edge browsers could not change the search provider on the new tab page this meant that Bing was used regardless of the user's preference when it comes to search. Some of the features found their way into development builds of Microsoft Edge already one of these is the ability to change the search provider used on the browser's New Tab Page. ![]()
