Do you use the Edge browser but want to get back to Google's search engine, or even DuckDuckGo? This guide will show you how to accomplish this task.

DON'T PANIC. This is normal as Microsoft is trying to make you only use Bing. You can easily circumvent this by going to the engine you want (i.e. https://www.google.com) and then follow the guide again and then you should be able to see Google in the list as shown below:

Click on it and then click the Add as default button.

That's all there is to it! :) You can add other search engines with this method (Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, etc).
