unable to change search engine for the address-bar
Looks like you got this to work. I can't. I added Google as a search engine and set it as the search engine for the address bar. Now when I type something on the address bar and hit enter, nothing happens. If I set it back to Bing and type something and hit enter it takes me to Bing search. How did you make it work with Google?
Thanks,
Bill
Deleted Had you tried the following? Sometimes manual entries are a good door to typos. This did the trick for me when I was trying to use Duck Duck Go.
1- Go to edge://settings/searchEngines
2- Delete your Google entry
3- Go to Google.com
4- Return to edge://settings/searchEngines
5- Make the new Google entry your default search engine
6- Try doing a search using the address bar
Thanks for the reply. I deleted my Google entry, went to Google.com, and then went back to the settings, but there was no Google entry. Was this supposed to be automatically added back? If so it didn't happen for me.

Deleted , If a search engine is removed, you will need to reset settings in order to get it back. I also think there should be an easier way and will file an issue on this.
Yes, I agree it is way too difficult to get this to work. It really needs to be fixed by the developers. As Google is probably the world's most used search engine, it should just work out of the box if selected in the options. Thanks for your help.
Deleted It worked like that for me for Duck Duck Go, but I just tried it with Ask.com and I had to do a search in Ask before it got added to my list automatically.
I tried doing a search on the page and then going back to the settings and there was no Google option added back to the list.
