So while editing my search engines on Chrome, I accidentally deleted Bing, and now i want to make it my default browser. i have tried to use the 'Make bing your homepage' application by microsoft, however it is not allowing me to install it as it says "It is already installed", I understand why it says that because i have installed it in the past but i deleted the configurations. So when i try to add a new search engine this comes up:
And here is a picture of what Google's default settings look like:

Only this query worked in my case
https://www.bing.com/?q=%s
Other variants with the word "search" works, but returns weird queries in the search bar.
After editing may require to restart your browser.

Search engine: Bing
Keyword: Bing (but any word will work here, as long as you don't leave it empty)
URL with %s in place of query: https://bing.com/search?q=%search%
In this last field you can also write anything you want, as long as it's the Bing URL and as long as the word "search" is the same before the question mark and between the two percentage signs. But you could write any word instead of the actual word "search."

this is what i'm getting on my chrome:
search engine: Bing
,
keyword: bing.com
url with %s https://www.bing.com/search?q=%s
also if you try on your browser this link with a keyword instead of %s var it will redirect to bing with the query made.
there are more query params you can get with bing
