in such cases, when an unknown search engine shows up in the browser's URL, you should think what freeware/shareware did you recently download to your computer. There is a high chance that it had an optional component (Bing as a search provider in your case) which was installed on your computer behind your back. To prevent such hijackers in the future, make sure you always opt for Custom/Advanced installation of the freeware. Additionally, you should deselect such and similar prepositions: "I agree to set my homepage to Bing."
Now you should reset your affected web browser. Finding the app that led you to the infiltration of Bing is also recommended. if you have no idea which app is responsible for these changes, run a full system scan with tools from this guide: https://www.2-spyware.com/remove-bing-redirect-virus.html
