      Hello. Does anyone know if there is there are way to change the URL that is used in the built in search engines? For example, I'm running into the dreaded problem of being stuck with the China version of Bing even though I'm nowhere near China. So I need to set the URL to https://www.bing.com/?cc=us
      Even changing the setting in the microsoft account doesn't stick so I need to find a different way. The opera browser does have a bypass when you're using their VPN. I am using a different VPN which might explain partially why I am having this problem to begin with but it's not a China based VPN either. Thanks in advance I appreciate your help.

            @opeepo10 Because there's no setting for it and trying to change in a file may lead to problems
