"

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."
