I'm using DuckDuckGo as a search engine in Edge but would like to set it also in search bar. Is it doable?


Thanks.

When you enter something in the address bar in Microsoft Edge, you’ll see results from Bing. Microsoft recommends Bing for the best performance with Windows 10. Bing gives instant help for Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge (just like this). And Bing links search
results with some Windows 10 apps. But Microsoft Edge uses OpenSearch technology, so you can change the default search engine. Here’s how:

• 
  Enter the search engine’s website and browse to it.
  
• 
  Select More actions (...) > Settings and then scroll down to select View
  advanced settings. In the list under Search in the address bar with, choose Add new.
  
• 
  Select the website and then select Add as default.
  
  • 
    Note: Only search providers that support the OpenSearch standard will appear in this list. If they don’t support it yet,here's how
    they can."

Can't change the default address bar search engine in Microsoft Edge

I tried changing my default search engine from the Advanced setting but when I search in the address bar there are no results. There is an error saying:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, we can't reach this page.

Try this

• Make sure you’ve got the right URL:http://default search engine
• Refresh the page
• Search for what you want

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have tried almost all popular search engines such as Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, etc. But none of them is working except Bing.

This is the screenshot of the error: Dropbox - Link not found

Please help as I want to use Edge but this problem is something that's in my way.
