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.

    If you set Edge to use a different search provider and you never use Cortana, you shouldn't ever see Bing unless you specifically ask for it. No need for Chrome. 

    Hi Noel,

    I think the problem is you can't change the Cortana search engine, but you can change Edge's search engine. I was hoping to change both. If you know how I can change Cortana's, please let me know! I'd be stoked. :)

    Thanks!
