This is not a high speed answer, but was the only one available in 2017. The steps to search edge history are as follows:

  1. Please follow the link to , sign in with your MS id, and click the 'Me too' button under the question.
  2. Open Windows 10 Feedback hub (press windows button; type feedback hub); and type "edge search history" into the search box. Click on the small word 'Upvote' on the first 5 or 10 issues you find which state the problem concisely and politely.

  3. Wait about 3-36 months. You may find this step irritating.

You should then find that steps 4-5 work:

  1. Browse to
  2. Follow the instructions in the first link.

You can get some relief during step 3. by:

  1. Install FireFox
  2. Open "Show All Bookmarks" -> Import and Backup -> Import Data from another Browser -> MS Edge

If you open Explorer 11 at the same time as MS Edge is open, then you will find your browsing history and also the "Search" function that you used to see.

Revisiting my question with an update. I have not found an answer and I guess it isn't possible.

However, you can view your history and clear your browsing history.
See these Microsoft Support pages

Quoting:
To view your browsing history, select Hub > History.

From that page you can:

  1. Select Clear all history. Choose the types of data or files you want to remove from your PC
  2. then select Clear.

Edited: As I thought I had an answer, but this doesn't really answer my original question.
