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.

  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.
