Microsoft Edge Address Bar

Hi Zach,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to open actual address of websites with short forms as you wish:

• Open Microsoft Edge, click on More actions(...) at the right top corner.
• Click on View advanced settings, under Search in the address bar with
  click on down arrow.
• Choose <add new>, try to add the default website.

Secondly, as opening pages in new tab is set by design, I suggest you to provide this as a feedback.

Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

 

Edge: Search in the address bar problem

Thank you!! You are right ... if I have visited a site with search engine (e.g. wikipedia, google) at least onces from Edge, afterwards you find it in the list of the available search engines!! It is quite strange ... I hope it will change in future releases
...

PS: I see that in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/change-the-default-search-engine-in-microsoft-edge it is stated in the step-by-step instructions: "Enter the search engine’s website and browse to it".

Can you possibly give me an answer also to the other question of mine, that is how to easily select the search engine to use for a particular search (alter adding in the previous list and selected not as a defaul one), without having the need to change the
defualt one everytime (in Internet Explorer it is possible clicking near the address field)..

Regards

Enzo

 

Cannot type in Edge address bar or search box

I have tried several different adjustments, but I cannot type anything into the Edge address bar or search box. I get the blinking cursor, but it will not accept anything. Any suggestions on how to use this beast?
