Search engine in New-tab page
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.
willc420 After have turned off "Let website provide locally relevant content ... " in windows by security and followed your step.
I confirm the bug.
Edit : i'm on canary
willc420, gopikrishna2245, Deleted, both of these behaviors are by design. There is no way to change the search provider on the New Tab Page (NTP). The NTP is a website that takes it context from the language and country that the user has their browser set to, and should return results relevant to those settings. We only supported en-us when we first released, and have just added additional languages and countries. Thank you for your understanding. - Elliot
