Why was Google removed from the search engine selection options?

Edge is super cool, which is why I use it, but it works best with Google as the search engine. Using it with Bing feels like a disaster, so I’m wondering why Google was removed from the selection options??

There's a weird small, white border under my tabs, and I would like to get wrid of it

I tried to turn my computer on and off again, but the small little white strip still persists at the top. Going into settings to toggle around did nothing, as there's no way to get rid of it.

Why does Microsoft Edge keep changing my search bar to Bing every day?

I have been switching the damn searchbar to Google all day, because Microsoft Edge won't stop changing it back to Bing. Are there any solutions for this? It all happened out of nowhere, and has been happening for 5 days.
