    Custom Engine for Start Menu Search possible?


    Has anybody figured out if it is finally possible to customize the "Universal Start Menu search" or replace the Bing Search by Google search or any other prefered online search engine?

    In Windows 8.1 that was sadly not possible and i assume it won't be possible to customize it in Windows 10, but if anybody has figured out if it is possbile or if it definitiv won't be possible i'd be happy about the Information with source.

    Thanks a lot.

    :)

    If you are using Firefox:

    Click the 'Open menu' at the top right hand corner - looks like a Hamburger

    Click Search

    In the default search engine list box, choose Google

    If you are using Google Chrome:

    Click the Customize and Control Chrome menu represented by the three vertical dots in the top right corner.

    Click Settings

    In the search box, type the word: search

    Click in the Set which search engine is used when searching from within the omnibox list box

    Choose Google
