@cutebunnygaming10 that's very strange...
have u tried clicking on the option below in settings
Search engine used in the address bar.?
and adding bing as a site search from there?

@cutebunnygaming10 hey i think i might have found the solution...hopefully u haven't tried & failed at this too.

so go to the browser settings>basic>start page>hide search box...i dont keep mine on, but when i turned mine off, i got a search engine search bar on my speed dial page

@cutebunnygaming10 u don't even have Bing in your options. Google's 3 dots are greyed out coz it's already ur default. if u look at my screenshot u can see Yahoo's 3 dots greyed out coz it's already my default. but i have Bing in my option list whereas u don't for some reason.

have u tried Add site search, below the option list?
