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.

    Both what you write and your screenshot show that you're not using this version, but rather the original Edge, now known as Edge Legacy. The two browsers are quite different, and instructions for the one are unlikely to work for the other.

    In your case, click Learnmore and follow the instructions to add more search providers.

    When I go to Settings> my options do NOT include Privacy & Services. It is called "Privacy & Security". If I go to Settings>Advanced, it shows this under "Change Search Provider":

    Meaning, I CANNOT remove Bing. Even if I click on it, right-click on it, etc.

    I am NOT in S Mode, by the way. I checked that. 

    However, I found that while I'm in Edge, I have to navigate to Google.com FIRST, then when I click on the Settings>Advanced Settings, I can then add Google as my default search engine! How dumb. But it now works.

    It's stupid too.  If I want my searches to show up, I have to use Google.  That has happened with my last two searches.

    I wonder why Bing and not Edge.  I have been trying, for years, to avoid Bing.  Signing into a different browser has created all sorts of problems, but eventually I hope to get it working right.  Bing isn't a good search engine, but at this point, I am fed up and not at all happy with any of it.
