Feature to implement Google search/third party engines in edge home tab
- Oct 13, 2020Hi, it's the right place. you can change your address bar and the search bar in the middle of the new tab page, from the settings: edge://settings/search

you don't need to really memorize the location of any settings in Edge. there is a search area, just type in whatever you are looking for and it will find it instantly.
super duper easy
HotCakeX yes this is how i discovered it, by searching "google".
but it's still in the wrong place, even if there is a search function. for me is not a problem, because now i use the chrome extension on edge and other browser. this is much faster and it's added automatically to all my new profiles thanks to the sync/library files.
sometimes you are much quicker to do without searching, especially if you need to batch change a lot of setting on multiple profiles and browsers, and you know you just need to scroll 2x, 1x, etc. to find the setting.

that's your opinion, I don't feel that way at all.

HotCakeX it's ok, everyone has other usage.
once you repeat 100x the same task you will probably understand what i mean. at least it's easy to fix it in edge thanks to the extension, compared to duckduckgo based browsers, where the extension doesn't work, but they allow us quick edit in the setting (we just need to scroll 1x)

Don't worry I already understand it perfectly. I've done it more times than that, maybe I'm just that fast, don't need an extension for something that simple.
