Windows speech recognition

Would like Windows speech recognition to work directly in Microsoft Edge. I am reliant on speech recognition to operate my laptop. I have never been able to dictate directly into Microsoft Edge. Instead I have to dictate into a speech recognition pop up box and then select "insert" to have the text entered into the search bar. If I navigate away from the page and then return to it, everything in the dictation pop up box disappears and I have to start all over again. Here is a screenshot of the speech recognition pop up box.
