The latest form of the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge Canary comes with support for more search engines like google, including Google.

The original version of the browser could only be configured to make use of Bing as the default internet search engine.

The most recent update to version 75.0.127.0 still labels Bing because the "recommended" choice, but rather also allows users to switch to Yahoo, Google, and DuckDuckGo, as discovered by TechDows.

To alter google within the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, you need to launch the browser and visit Settings > Privacy and services > Address bar > Search engine used in the address bar.

As with Google Chrome, users may also configure their very own custom search engine in the new Microsoft Edge, and you may check out this article to understand how to get it done. Which means that even though Google wasn't officially supported in the previous versions of Microsoft Edge, it had been still possible to set it up.

"Only a Canary update for now"

This change is just available in the Canary version of Microsoft Edge, which receives updates every single day and it is only recommended for testing purposes. The Dev build, which is updated weekly, hasn't yet received the change, but a brand new version should land any day now.

Microsoft hasn't yet published beta and stable builds of their new Edge browser, and they're expected later this year as additional features are now being added. Without a doubt, the stable version of Microsoft Edge will feature support for Google search too.

The present builds of Microsoft Edge browser only focus on Windows 10, albeit they can be also placed on Windows 7. However, Microsoft doesn't officially support older Windows versions. A macOS version of the new Edge browser also needs to go live sometime soon, but details on the ETA aren't available at this time.
