Maybe this can't be done or is too complicated for me to try but I'll ask.
On Apple Mac, I can open Safari and get to the Bing search engine. I do not want to make Bing my search engine -- yet - perhaps later. I only want a Bing icon on my desk top. But the only instructions I find are to make it my home page or to make it my default search engine. Can I just put an icon on my desktop and is it simple? Especially, is it simple? If not, I'll wait until we are all back to normal (whatever that is) and let my computer friend do it.
If, by "browser", you mean what I think you do, my Safari does not show itself as a browser. It has (icons?) for a number of browsers: Google, Bing, Yahoo; then a number of other things like Linkedin, Facebook, Cloud, Trip Advisor, Yelp, etc. As for Favorites, I do not keep a list because I don't use the computer that much. I just have an icon for each of the most-used sites and use those. My computer friend put those there. Maybe all of that is why it opens in Google. What I like about it is how it brings up links. Much better than how Google does it.
Remember when all you did was click on an empty desk top space and then right click on a site's page and it let you choose to put it on your desk top.
Yes you should be able to Goto bing and right click on the page and choose 'CREATE SHORTCUT' .. it should be placed on your desktop and you can rename it "Bing"
When I search from my address bar the page is Bing that comes up.....

And, isn't Windows 10 now using Bing?
Thanks
Safari is a browser, just like FireFox, Chrome, Edge, and others
Google, Bing, Linkedin, Facebook, etc are websites that you access via a web browser.
You are right. I got my tongue tangled. Safari has no search engine of it's own. It has a bunch of search engines' icons (or whatever you call them) and we select the one we want to use. List is above. The rest I knew were not search engines.
