Make sure you Restart Microsoft Edge browser to implement this change.

Note: If your desired search Engine is not available on Manage Search Engines page, visit the Home page of your preferred Search Engine and it should become available for selection.

If the Search Engine does not support OpenSearch Technology, it won’t become available for selection and you won’t be able to use it as default Search Engine in Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft Edge Will Still Use Bing in Search Box

Even after you change the Default Search Engine in the Address Bar, Microsoft Edge will continue to use Bing as its default Search Engine in New Tab Search Box.
