<OLD> Microsoft Edge: "Custom Search Engines/Shortcuts" like Chrome

For anyone just seeing this - the question was regarding the original Microsoft Edge. Edge has since changed over to Chromium, and for whatever reason kept the same name.

To make Custom Search Engines in the newer Edge (based on Chromium):

edge://settings/searchEngines

How do I make custom search shortcuts in Microsoft Edge?

For example, In Google Chrome I have a custom search to lookup information about an IP address. It's shortcut is "IP"... so to use it, I launch Chrome, and type:

IP [space] 23.96.52.53

and Chrome will navigate to:

https://ipinfo.io/23.96.52.53

so, basically performing a search directly on a site, without me needing to remember it's name/address, or needing to click anywhere. I just type a simple shortcut, and my query.

How can I make perform like this in Edge?

Solution 1:

From this ticket, it looks like this has been an issue since 2014.

No current word from MS on when or if this will be implemented.
