Why not more than one search box in the toolbar on the top of the Edge?

I use DIY shortcut search, but I still think it was quite inconvenient. Don't think the search box is too long and just a waste of that length. Why not let users add new search box from 2 to 5. Like Google, Baidu, YouTube, Longman, Taobao, Zhihu each one have its own search box

    Because it is not necessary. you can already do that. the address bar (Omnibox) is smart.

     

     

     

     

    manage search engines here: edge://settings/searchEngines

      HotCakeX I mean in each search box, you just type the word you want to search! Like in YouTube box you type "Edge" and you search "Edge" directly on YouTube; In the Google box you type "basketball" and you search "basketball" directly on Google etc.

        It doesn't have to be exactly like that, the end result is the same. it's not a rule to be 100% like you said.

        what ultimately matters is that users can use other search engines with ease from the same unified address bar as I showed in the previous comment.
