My question is very simple that is HOW DO I REMOVE BING AS SEARCH ENGINE FROM MICROSOFT EDGE.

Please, please and please give me a simple  and direct answer or solution and not by "beating around the bush"

I am getting very fed up with Bing appearing as my search engine. I never as for it but how come Bing came in as my search engine. There are thousands if not millions that HATE Bing. Why is it still there, JUST REMOVE IT OUT FROM THE WEB or whatever permanently.

Assuming you're using the Chromium-based Edge, open Edge settings [click ⋯ (Settings and more) > Settings], then choose Privacy, search and services > Address bar and search > Manage search engines. You should see Google as an option. Click the ellipsis (three dots) at the right end of the entry and choose Make default.

    On the page where you changed the default search engine there is another setting: Search on new tabs uses search box or address bar. Change this to Address barto use your preferred search engine on the new tab page. 

    The page you want is edge://settings/search 

    The only differences you'll see on the new tab page are that the Bing logo disappears, and the search terms you enter will appear in the address bar, not in the search box.

    Microsoft has apparently prohibited us from configuring Edge to not display the Microsoft Bing search box in new tabs, even when we have a) removed Bing as a search engine in Edge, and b) tried to configure the New Tabs setting to not do so.

    This seems like an illegal marketing practice to me.
