## Overview
- Edge Custom Search Engines Settings URL: [edge://settings/searchEngines](http://settings/searchEngines)
- Edge User Profile Directory: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\Default`
- Edge Database: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\Default\Web Data`
- Edge `keywords` table is held withing the `sqlite` database mentioned above.
### Scripts
- PowerShell Scripts:
- [Invoke-ExportEdgeKeywords.ps1](Invoke-ExportEdgeKeywords.ps1): Export Microsoft Edge's `keywords` or custom `searchEngines` to a `SQL` file using `sqlite3`.
- [Invoke-ImportEdgeKeywords.ps1](Invoke-ImportEdgeKeywords.ps1): Import Microsoft Edge's `keywords` or custom `searchEngines` from a `SQL` file using `sqlite3`.
- SQL Scripts:
- [`bin/sql_import_script.sql`](bin/sql_import_script.sql): Ran by `sqlite3` to import the `EdgeKeywords.sql` file into the `Web Data` database's `keywords` table.
- [`bin/sql_export_script.sql`](bin/sql_export_script.sql): Ran by `sqlite3` to export current `Web Data` database's `keywords` table to a `SQL` DDL script: [`EdgeKeywords.sql`](output/EdgeKeywords.sql).
### SQL
Output `.sql` files are exported to [`output/EdgeKeywords.sql`](output/EdgeKeywords.sql). This same `SQL` script can be used for importing back into Edge.
Note that all scripts rely on a dependency for having `sqlite3` installed on your system and on the `PATH` environment variable. Easy installation via `scoop`:
```powershell
scoop install sqlite
```
Another useful tool for viewing the `Web Data` database contents is [sqlitebrowser]() which can be installed via:
```powershell
scoop install sqlitebrowser
```
