Remove 'Search Bing in sidebar' using policy, startup flag or registry
Hooray! Once the https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/edge/business/download?form=MA13FJ Definitions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/configure-microsoft-edge#add-the-administrative-template-to-an-individual-computer, you can set it as follows. I have set it at the Computer Configuration level in this case.
Super happy this has been implemented!
Microsoftajackw Hi! Just to confirm your question, you are looking for a way to disable "Search in sidebar for" but keep "Search the web for" enabled. Is that correct?
Do you have the default search provider set to something other than Bing?
Also, can you share what version of MS Edge you are using? Thanks!

Kelly_Y Hi 🙂
Is that correct?
That's right - thank you for confirming.
Do you have the default search provider set to something other than Bing?
I do yes. I've removed Bing from the list of search engines under Settings > Privacy, search and services > Address bar and search > Manage search engines
(to test it has been removed, made sure it is not within the list, screenshot 1)
Also, can you share what version of MS Edge you are using? Thanks!
I mainly use Version 96.0.1032.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) day-to-day however this behaviour also occurs within Version 94.0.992.47 (Official build) (64-bit).
Let me know if I can help any further.
