Google Search not working in Edge

I'm not confusing anything! You could anything while it was still in the Alpha stages while the next person will only see it as something a long way off from being anything they want to use. My own assessment was to simply find it a bit too limited and will simply pass up on it for the time being.

But even with that you might still want to read what others have to say. There's quite a discussion going on about Edge on another thread! Microsoft: Windows 10 Users Should Say No to Chrome and Firefox - Windows 10 Forums

I never use Chrome since that one also left me with the impression of an unfinished browser lacking in things! I preferred the 32bit Opera over Firefox back when still running the 32bit Windows and since have gone on to find out what does work here.

As far as the OP's inquiry is concerned since Edge is still new with MS still focused on their own search engine Bing it comes as no surprise that anything Google, Yahoo, ask, etc. would run into problems until Edge has progressed far enough to see options for adding alternates in.

I use (almost exclusively) Edge with DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. They both work perfectly fine together for me.

And there is likely one main reason for seeing that. DuckDuckGo is a basic type of engine while Google is bloated! In fact Google got so big they have their own OS as compared to something smaller like an option you see with FF or Chrome in contrast. That plus the fact that Edge still needs quite a bit more refinement is where you may see things work out for you while the next person will be trying something else out and Edge is simply not far enough along.

I will say with one look at the latest Opera IN Stable release or Flock you will likely be better off sticking with Edge in comparison while you may also want to keep a secondary browser running along with it for the time being.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised since Google has been IE, FF, and other browsers situated all this time. Glad to hear it's working for you.

Google has apparently had an issue with IE for days (now fixed) so I think the same thing must of be affecting Edge too - Google Search Bug Fixed After Many Internet Explorer Users Unable To Search Google

That would seem to fit the bill as far as the problems some are having. Edge was developed initially from the IE platform to an extent as for not running into any compatibility issues. With Google having a problem at their end it likely had an impact on several other browsers as well.

Haven't actually run into any issues with Bing over the last 5 1/2yrs. to mention after trying out several browsers and several versions for some. At least that confirms where the problem came from.
