Hello all,

I've been following the documentation from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/configure-microsoft-edge to customize my work's Chromium based MS Edge, I have it 99% done and working the way I want, but have one minor change I'd like to make:

I'd like to change the setting for "Search on new tabs uses search box or address bar" to Address bar in edge://settings/search

But I haven't been able locate that section in the admx template. I know that setting was recently added, so maybe my admx is just out of date? Does anyone know if there is a way to force that toggle via GPO?

Thank you in advance!

    I'm an idiot, and didn't update the admx. As soon as I did the current policy files I was able to locate the setting under Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Default search provider->Configure the new tab page search box experience
