Turn On/Off Search Improvement in Edge Browser

Search and service improvement in Microsoft Edge lets you control if the browser sends data about your searches and browsing to Microsoft for product updates.

This setting helps Microsoft make Edge and other services better by learning how people use them.

For example, when you search on Windows 11, where Edge is often the default, this feature might send details about your search terms and which links you click.

Turning this feature on or off decides how your browsing habits help improve Microsoft’s products for everyone.

Enable or disable Search and service improvement in Edge

Microsoft Edge lets you control whether your search and browsing details are sent to Microsoft for service improvements. Turning on the Microsoft Edge search improvement feature can help find results more accurately. Conversely, turning it off keeps your data private. Changing this setting is straightforward within the browser.

Here’s how to do it.

First, open the Microsoft Edge browser.

Then click the Settings and more (Alt+F) button, represented by three horizontal dots in the top right corner, and select Settings.

On the Settings page, select “Privacy, search, and services” on the left side. Then click the “Privacy” tile on the right to expand it.

Look for the setting labeled Search and service improvement (a feature that collects data to enhance Microsoft products). To turn it on or off, adjust the toggle for Help improve Microsoft products by sending the results from searches on the web.

You can close the Edge settings page when you’re finished.
