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.

    That was the first thing I did.  I then removed Bing from my search engines.  It still shows up. 

    I like the new Edge Chromium browser because it is faster and uses about hal the memory of Chrome but I will probably stop using it because of this.

    This did not work!  I want o completely remove the bing search box.

    Hi Susan,

    As I discovered when starting this thread, you cannot remove it from Cortana (and Explorer searches), but you can remove Bing everywhere else. It's just that you can't change it when you use the "Type Here to Search" button on the lower left of your screen.

    I just open up Chrome and search there instead.

    Bing is somehow the most annoying search engine they could've made. Yahoo would have been better. Even MSN. 

    Hope that helps,

    In what way? Are your searches still being carried out by Bing even after following the instructions?

    I want o completely remove the bing search box.

    It stops being a Bing search box if you follow the steps I gave back in June, but it doesn't do anything and you can't remove it. Does it matter?
