David Rubino So far I am loving new edge browser and has been using it as my default browser, but can you add a feature that switches between search engines in the search bar rather than going to that search engine's webpage first.

  Drew1903 there is slight misunderstanding I am not talking about 'how to change default search engine' what I am saying is using 'search shortcuts' in the address bar similar to firefox. It makes it easy to switch between search engines.

  HotCakeX no I am talking about a feature in Firefox where your default search engine is of your choice but occasionally if you want to search something in other search engine you can easily switch within search bar. as seen in screenshot circled in red
