nemchik and Deleted thank you for this feedback. I will forward it on to the Search folks. Is there anything that Bing can do make you feel comfortable using their search engine as your default?
Thanks,

The problem I have with Bing as a the edge/IE default search engine, is that when you type an address in the address bar and there is a typo, it drops the entry from the address bar to the search bar in the middle of the screen and searches for it. Even if you type the https://. This is particularly annoying behaviour especially when it is an internal URL and specific to you your organisation. Bing won't find it. Now I must retype the entire URL again in the address bar. Now I am a great typist, but some one keeps moving the keys on my keyboard and this feature uis enough have any sane person committed. So that is the reason we change the default search engine from Bing to Google. With Google it understands that I am trying to type in a url and allows me to correct my typo in the address bar.
