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

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.

You found it yet ?
I'm using Version 96.0.1054.62
If your on the same or more up to date then its as Arctic ghost says, option to change it is at the bottom of the page under services.1 -
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.0
