Microsoft Edge is a new web browser that is available across the Windows 10 device family. It is designed for Windows 10 to be faster, safer, and compatible with the modern Web.

In Microsoft Edge, the Address bar (Search box) always shows the placeholder text “Search or enter web address”. If you find this distracting, here is a way to remove the default placeholder text and make it appear blank.

The Start and New Tab pages in Microsoft Edge can give you access to the latest news across business, entertainment, finance and more. Plus, with weather updates, sports scores, recommendations for apps and much more.

By default, the Address bar (aka: "Search box") shows the placeholder text Search and enter web address on the Start and New tab pages in Microsoft Edge.

If you prefer, you can remove this placeholder text and make it appear blank instead.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the Address bar placeholder text "Search and enter web address" in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba,Lenovo, and Samsung).
