Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 134, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Enables the display of relevant workplace suggestions in the address bar’s suggestion dropdown when users type a query in the address bar. If this policy is enabled or not configured, users can view internal work-related suggestions, such as bookmarks, files, and people results powered by Microsoft 365, in the Microsoft Edge address bar suggestion dropdown. To access these results, users must be signed into Microsoft Edge with their Entra ID account associated with that organization. If this policy is disabled, users can't see internal workplace results in the Microsoft Edge address bar suggestion dropdown.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: AddressBarWorkSearchResultsEnabled
Enabled: AddressBarWorkSearchResultsEnabled = 1
Disabled: AddressBarWorkSearchResultsEnabled = 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.
