Introducing sidebar search in Microsoft Edge

seancorfield Good for you, and others.  But still, Microsoft need to stop forcing Bing on users: have it as the default, sure, but ultimately take no for an answer.

Edge: if the user changes from Bing to another search-provider, they still try to sneak it in via the "Search Bing in sidebar for ..." option, and the New Tab page, which the user cannot change to load anything other than the built-in offering without resorting to a third-party extension.

Android: if you have the Outlook app installed, then whenever you select text in an app you'll see a "Bing search" option.  Google really should treat this as malware and block the pop-up menu addition.

Microsoft Office: some features, such as word definition look-ups, word translations and image search, use Bing

Default to Bing, sure, but stop trying to force it everywhere!
