     I don't know how you've configured things, but for me 'Search' just   
   goes to the search function of the Start menu. Edge is not involved,   
   unless/until one of the results is a link and you click on that.   
      
     But, as others mentioned, Real Men (TM) use Open-Shell Menu or   
   something similar.
