  1. change start menu search from bing to google


    when you open the windows 10 start menu and start typing it will search with Bing search provider I want to change this to google. also it will open edge and I want to disable this and use my own browser. how do I make these 2 options happen.

    I don't like bing and it gives you a lot of spam when it comes to searching for what I need.

    :)

  3. Google as default search

    On my new Samsung Notebook 9 I want to make Google the default search engine in Internet Explorer. I open Explorer, click on tools, click on manage add-ons and then click on search providers. That shows me a list which includes Bing (twice) and Google.
    In the far right column under "search suggestions" Bing is listed as "enabled" and Google is listed as "not available." How do I make Google available?

  4. change start menu search from bing to google

    Remove Bing search = Yicks


    The start menu suggestions are okay,
    It's when you use the enter key (which in win-7) selects the top suggestion
    In win-10 it spins you to a bing search page :/

    Forum sections can be easily confused it's all good but please keep in mind help is always the main objective change start menu search from bing to google :)
    Otherwise I would've posted somewhere else less serious change start menu search from bing to google :)

    Allot of people do not like Bing Desktop Search because of this very bazar default in results,
    Not that I would want to use another search engine "Google or....) either start search is in my opinion always a Local files/ programs search,
    Otherwise I would open a browser and search and then I wouldn't want to search for local files,

    The only trick ie workaround seems to not use the enter key and click on the suggestions instead :/
