Bing removal
Hello
How can I remove Bing from Microsoft Edge Chromium? I want to remove it from following locations.
New Tab > search bar
Select word(s) > Right click > Search Bing in sidebar...
Also, I want to remove Copy link to highlight.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#addressbarmicrosoftsearchinbingproviderenabled is set to False, and I already removed Bing from edge://settings/searchEngines but it is still coming.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#defaultsearchprovidercontextmenuaccessallowed "Allow default search provider context menu search access" I enabled this because if I disable this it removes sidebar plus right click search.
How can I totally remove Bing from Edge? I will implement solutions via MS Endpoint Manager, and if required via local group policies.
No one within the company is using Bing, because it is totally useless. We are using Google and DDG.

Shades-DE There are quite a few policies available to configure Search in Microsoft Edge.
First would be the Default Search Providers policies (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#default-search-provider) which includes the NewTabPageSearchBox (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#newtabpagesearchbox)
For the sidebar search, see DefaultSearchProviderContextMenuAccessAllowed (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#defaultsearchprovidercontextmenuaccessallowed)
The policy documentation should have all the information necessary. Thanks!
