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.

PLEAE HELP ME TO REMOVE BING IN A VERY SIMPLIFIED  STEPS!

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.

    Many thanks for all who responded to my question about removing the Bing search window from Edge even though your default search engine is Google. 

    Clear to me that Microsoft wants people who use their browser to use Bing as their search engine.  While Microsoft allows you to change the the Edge default search engine of Bing to a search engine of your choice, they do not allow you to get rid of the Bing search window in the middle of an Edge browser page.

    Modifying Registry entries as suggested by many, did not work.

    My solution will therefore be to use another browser,  Firefox or Chrome

    Thanks again to all - no further responses are necessary.

    Once you've changed the search engine like I did, the search box in the middle of the page no longer uses Bing. If you type there, it automatically switches to the address bar and uses the new default search engine. It's clunky, but it works.
