BUG - Bing search on New Tab page defaults to US English

Brass Contributor

Hi! I can't find a setting to select a region for the New Tab page, so I assume this is a bug or feature in development.

 

Whenever performing a search in the search box on the New Tab page, the results are always returned in US English. This is especially a problem when looking up products to buy (pricing from US suppliers in US currency).

 

Compounding this, my default country for Bing is then set to United States, so I have to manually switch back to United Kingdom. As this happens each time a search is performed on the New Tab page, I tend to avoid using it completely for the moment!

 

Hopefully this is in the pipeline to be fixed in a future build. Cheers!

 

(Currently affecting build 76.0.182.6 - but it did affect previous builds too. Under Settings, only language listed is "English (United Kingdom)" but this seems to have no effect for search issue.)

I've got the same issue.  Hopefully, it will be resolved soon.

Hi@Stanley Yau 

 

Now added the ability to change the location for news content on the new tab page in Version 81.0.387.0
