Search engine in New-tab page

When I change the search engine in the settings the search engine in the address bar is changed but the search engine in the new tab page is not changed and is set to bing. It is not that I don't like bing I think it is uncomfortable for users if the search engine in the browser is not changed when they did it.

I am using dev channel of the edge

    Adding to this, not only is it that your search engine doesn't change... but the engine used defaults Bing to the US region! Please consider us non-US users. This ruins the search completely outside of the US.

      oh for that i can't test since i use the US region, you can DM Elliot Kirk for report the bug (since, they can't read all post), so he can pass it to de dev.

        Deleted I've done that but you can test this in any region.

         

        Replication steps:

        1. Push the hamburger menu, settings, manually change region to Australia.

        2. Perform a search in the address bar. This region change is respected and the search should return Australian results.

        3. Perform a search in the new tab search bar. This region change is overridden and the search returns US results. If you check the region again, it has automatically switched to US.
