How to Delete Yahoo as my Search Engine

Hi

When I go into Microsoft Edge on my pc to search for a web site Yahoo is set as my search engine (I hope that is the correct term). This has only occurred recently as prior to this it was Bing which I was more than happy with.

Can anyone advise how I can get rid of Yahoo and revert back to Bing. I have looked in setting but cannot see anywhere which allows me to change this.

Thanks

    Thanks for this but when I go into settings and privacy the only options I get are General, Speech, Inking and Typing personalisation, Diagnostics and Feedback and Activity History. I tried typing Services into the search bar in privacy but nothing came up. 
    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    I'm guessing you are using the old Edge browser.....
    Go to Settings - Advanced - Change search engine.

  • In settings, start-home-new tabs; try setting the home button to use the search engine of your choice.

    Sorry to keep going on about this but when I go to settings I cannot see an Advanced option.

    Sorry but I still can't see it.

    When I go into Setting and then Privacy I get:
    Windows Permissions
    General
    Speech
    Inking and Typing Personalization
    Diagnostics and Feedback
    Activity History.

    Below that I get:
    App Permissions followed by a list which does not include anything about Address Bar and Search.
