The default search engine in the new Windows 10 Mobile smartphone operating system is, not surprisingly, Microsoft's own Bing.
And it seems Redmond would like it to stay that way, because changing it is not made easy.
If you go into Microsoft Edge browser Settings, there is a section for "Search in address bar with....". But Bing is the only choice.
Here's how to get another default search engine like, say, Google.
Using your phone, open the Edge browser and enter the web address of your chosen search provider, like Google.com.
While on the Google homepage, open Edge Settings using the three dots in the bottom right.
Go to Advanced Settings, then tap "Search in address bar with....".
As well as Bing, you'll now see Google in the list. Tap Google to save it.
Now when you use the Edge address bar to search, you'll be using Google.
