Enable Microsoft Search in Bing suggestions in the address bar (obsolete)
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 81-136, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 136. Enables the display of relevant Microsoft Search in Bing suggestions in the address bar's suggestion list when the user enters a search query in the address bar. If you enable or don't configure this policy, users can see internal results powered by Microsoft Search in Bing in the Microsoft Edge address bar suggestion list. To access Microsoft Search in Bing results, the user must be signed in to Microsoft Edge with their organization's Azure AD account. If you disable this policy, users won't see internal results in the Microsoft Edge address bar suggestion list. Starting with Microsoft Edge version 89, Microsoft Search in Bing suggestions will be available even if Bing isn't the user's default search provider. This policy is no longer applicable due to changes in access to work search through Bing-related endpoints.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: AddressBarMicrosoftSearchInBingProviderEnabled
Enabled: AddressBarMicrosoftSearchInBingProviderEnabled = 1
Disabled: AddressBarMicrosoftSearchInBingProviderEnabled = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
