Dev Channel update to 116.0.1923.0 is live
Eric_E Search engines are completely broken. I can still see them all in Web Data. I will now be trying to figure out how to force a rollback, for the second time in one month...
Warning to anyone attempting a rollback to 115.x - it will forcibly destroy your user profile! Luckily I had a Session Buddy DB backup from this morning...and my entire user profile from ~3 weeks ago the last time this happened. Should've trusted my gut and backed it up again. I hope "Re-sync now" is enough to cover the balance.
Never thought I'd be saying "time to set up an incremental backup system for my browser's user profile" but here I am.
Search engines work fine in 115.0.1901.5...
abdelfattah I also lost all my search engines...

karveira I lost them all again 😄
Forgot to forcibly disable every manner of Edge's auto-updater, so when I mistakenly closed it the other night, today I was on 116.x again.
What's weird is when I open the "Web Data" SQLite database that stores the search engines...they're all still in there. I'm not going to try and "fix" it again by downgrading to 115.x a second time because unfortunately I didn't make a newer backup of my User Profile - and downgrading between major revisions will irreversibly overwrite it with a blank one - no good. However, in the UI, you can see those weird triple apostrophes/backticks after anything you type into the address bar.
And of course, it only works for Bing in its current state. Microsoft, I understand you'd like us all to use Bing, but I already use Bing. I don't want to use Bing if I'm trying to search Github, I want to search Github...
No "Press tab to search with Github"
Eric_E can we least get an acknowledgement that the dev team is aware of this? I'm reluctant to even touch the search engine settings in Edge to try and troubleshoot because if something got borked with the db schema, knowing my luck, it'll just end up erasing everything.
