Windows 10: How to change the Start Menu search to use search in web by default instead of "Best Match"?

I use the start menu a lot to make quick web searches, but sometimes the "Best Match" searches for something different than what I typed.i just click the windows button, type in the prompt, then ENTER. The problem is, the "best match" result randomly pops up instead of regular "search the web"E.G. Most recently I typed in "word equation to latex shortcut" and this searched for "How to convert word document to latex" instead.It's a minor inconvenience but it's really annoying to have to retype out your search when it randomly decides to change your prompt.Is there a way to set the default optio

Change default browser for the start menu search?

My default browser is Vivaldi but whenever I search something from the start menu (eg flags) it opens edge instead. Is there anyway to change this. Thanks.

Also sorry if this is in the wrong category, I'm not sure where it should go.
