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, 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

    Elliot Kirk When you say just added do you mean in canary? Because the same behaviour occurs for me still in Canary.
