First, open an Edge browser window. To use Google or another search engine as your default in Microsoft Edge browser, click the menu button (three dots) found in the top-right corner and then select “Settings”.

In the Settings tab, click “Privacy, Search, and Services” in the sidebar. (If you don’t see the sidebar, widen the size of your browser window or click the three-line hamburger button in the top-left corner.)

Scroll down to the very bottom of the right pane and look for the “Services” section. Click “Address Bar and Search”.

From there, locate the “Search engine used in the address bar” section and choose “Google” or whatever search engine you prefer. In addition to Bing and Google, Microsoft Edge also includes Yahoo! and DuckDuckGo by default.

You’re now done. The next time you search from the address bar or by right-clicking text on a web page and selecting the “Search the web” option, Edge will use your chosen search engine.

If you’re happy with your choice, you can close Settings. Otherwise, to manage the list of search engines that appear in the defaults list, click the “Manage Search Engines” option. You’ll see a list of search engines. You can remove them from the list or click the “Add” button and add your own search engine by entering a URL.

Edge will also automatically find search engines when you use them. For example, if you prefer a different search engine, Edge says you should “open a new tab, go to the search engine you’d like to add, and search for something.” It will appear as an option in the list after you’ve used it, assuming the search engine is correctly configured to offer this.

Even after you change your default search engine, the search box on Edge’s New Tab page will remain a Bing search box. You can use the address bar to search with Google or another search engine from Edge’s New Tab page.
