Bing is the default search engine on Windows computers, and Microsoft Edge is the default browser. Nonetheless, Windows allows users to change the default search engine and browser to meet their specific needs, and today, you will learn how you can change from Bing to Google on Windows 11, be it for searching on the web or the Windows start menu.
How to Change from Bing to Google Search on Windows 11
More than 90 percent of the users prefer to use Google as their default search engine and Chrome as their default browser. And if you use a Windows computer, then you are probably tired of using Bing and Microsoft Edge as the default ones.
As a solution, you can either switch your default browser to Google Chrome (which uses Google Search by default) or change the search engine from Bing to Google on Microsoft Edge. Both methods are given below.
How to Set Google as Default Search Engine in Microsoft Edge?
Changing the default search engine in Microsoft Edge from Bing to Google is very simple and straightforward, follow the below steps to do so.
Step 1: Open the Microsoft Edge browser on your system.
Step 2: Tap on the three-dot icon at the top-right corner and select Settings.
Step 3: From the sidebar, tap Privacy, Search, and Services.
Step 4: Scroll down the right sidebar, tap on the Address bar, and search under the Services section.
Step 5: Click on the drop-down menu next to the search engine used in the address bar.
Step 6: Select Google from the menu that appears.
Once you do, Google will be set as the default search engine in the Microsoft Edge browser. Note that changing the default search engine does not change the search engine on the new page. However, you can change the default search engine on the new page. Follow the steps below to do so.
Step 1: Once you change the default search engine (that is, Bing) to any other search engine, you will see a Search on new tabs uses search box or address bar option.
Step 2: Click on the drop-down menu next to Search on new tabs uses search box or address bar.
Step 3: Select the Address bar if you want to set the search box on the new page to use your default search engine preference.
How to Change the Windows 11 Start Menu Search to Google?
Although Microsoft does not allow users to change the default search engine in the Windows 11 start menu, you can change it using a third-party application like Edge Deflector, which intercepts all links that would open in Edge and rewrites them in your default browser instead.
Follow the below steps to install the application and change the start menu search to Google:
Step 1: First of all, download the Edge Deflector application on your system.
Step 2: Once downloaded, install the exe file on your computer.
Step 3: Press the Windows key and tap on Settings.
Step 4: Tap on Apps, then choose Default Apps.
Step 5: Click on Microsoft Edge and look for MICROSOFT-EDGE.
Step 6: Under the MICROSOFT-EDGE section, tap Microsoft Edge.
Step 7: On the pop-up that appears, select Edge Deflector and tap OK.
Done, you have successfully changed the Windows 11 start menu search engine to Google. However, any searches you make using the start menu will still appear on Bing, and to open the search results in Chrome, follow the below steps.
Step 1: Open the Chrome browser on your system.
Step 2: Visit the Chrome Web Store and head over to the Chrometana Pro Extension.
Step 3: Add the extension to your browser by tapping on Add to Chrome > Add Extension.
Step 4: Once added, click on the extension menu icon at the top and select the Chrometana Pro extension.
Step 5: On the window that appears, tap on the drop-down menu that states Cortana and Bing and select Cortana from the options. This means you need to enable the setting from Cortana to Google.
Once you do, any search you make through the start menu will open in the Chrome browser with Google as the default search engine.
How to Set Chrome as Your Default Browser?
While the Edge is a feature-rich web browser and flaunts superior optimization, many still prefer using Google Chrome on Windows and want to make it their go-to browser. Follow the below steps to set Google Chrome as your default browser on Windows.
Step 1: Open the Google Chrome browser on your system.
Step 2: Tap on the three-dot icon at the top-right corner and select Settings.
Step 3: Click on Default browser from the sidebar.
Step 4: On the window that appears, tap on Make Default next to the Default browser.
Once you do, Chrome will be set as your default browser for your system, and every time you try to open something, it will open in Chrome instead of Edge.

Chrome
,
Firefox
and Edge. And if you prefer to search using Yahoo or DuckDuckGo — even Amazon or eBay if your searches are for items you’re shopping for — you can set one of those, too.

If you’re in the Firefox browser camp, here’s how to change the default search engine in Windows 11.
1. In Firefox, from the Open Application menu in the top-right corner, choose Settings.
2. Over in the left-hand column, choose Search.

How to set a web browser other than Edge as your default browser
Maybe it’s not just another search engine you want to swap but another web browser too. By default, Edge is Windows 11’s browser of choice. In Windows 11, the easiest way to set another browser as your default is when you install it and are prompted to make it your default browser. But if you skipped over doing it then, no worry, here’s how.
Note, that this will require a few steps.
1. Open Settings, and over on the left tap Apps.
2. Now tap Default apps, and scroll down to the browser you want to set as your default, Google Chrome, say.
3. In each setting listed — .html, for example, or .pdf — tap the default file type or link type and select the browser you want to use with that type. You may see several dozen file types, but probably can get away with setting the first 10 with your browser of choice. You can also go back and adjust other settings.

In Windows 11, the Start menu Search uses Microsoft Edge as the default browser and opens all web search queries on Bing. There is no setting in Windows that allows you to change the default browser the Start menu Search uses or the default search engine that it redirects the search queries to. In this guide, we will show you a workaround on how to change the Start menu default search engine from Bing to Google and force it to open in Chrome instead of Edge in Windows 11.
Below are 3 steps to change the default search engine Windows 11 Start menu Search uses from Bing to Google.
Step 1: Change the default web browser to Chrome or Firefox
In Windows 11, Microsoft has changed the way users set the default apps. It is now much harder to switch default browsers in Windows 11 compared to Windows 10.
The difference between them is that in Windows 10, you only have to select your preferred web browser for an option called “Web browser” in the default app settings. In Windows 11, however, you need to set the default browser for each of the available internet file types such as HTTP, HTTPS, HTM, HTML, SHTML, XHT, etc.
Change the default web browser to Chrome or Firefox by following the steps in this guide: How to Set Chrome as Default Browser in Windows 11.
After changing the default browser, go to the next step.
Step 2: Install EdgeDeflector to force open Search in default web browser
In Windows 11, even after you’ve changed the default web browser to Chrome or Firefox, the Start menu Search would still use Edge as its default browser when a web search query is requested. There is no setting to change the default browser the Start menu Search uses in Windows 11. Thus, we will need a tool that forces it to open in your default web browser instead.
EdgeDeflector is just the tool we need in this scenario. It is a simple tool that is able to intercept all links that would open in Edge and rewrite them to open in your default web browser instead. We will need to install this tool so that the web search queries requested on the Start menu Search will always open in Chrome or Firefox instead of Edge.
Update: Microsoft has released a build of Windows 11 with changes that negatively affect how EdgeDeflector works, causing it to no longer work. The developer of EdgeDeflector has discontinued the project. However, fortunately, there is an alternative to EdgeDeflector. Read: EdgeDeflector Alternative for Windows 11 – MSEdgeRedirect.
Download EdgeDeflector from this page: https://github.com/da2x/EdgeDeflector/releases.
If this is your first time you download a release from GitHub, look for the post marked as Latest (which means latest release). Under Assets, select the EdgeDeflector_install.exe to download the installer.
Once downloaded, run the installer to install EdgeDeflector.
After you’ve installed the tool, go back to Settings > Apps > Default apps. Under Set defaults for applications, search for EdgeDeflector and select it.
Click on the Microsoft-Edge link type and select EdgeDeflector.
After making the change, all links that are supposed to open in Edge will now open in your default web browser instead (the default browser you’ve set in step 1).
Step 3: Install Extension to redirect Bing search to Google
After setting EdgeDeflector to intercept the Start menu Search to open in Chrome or Firefox instead of Edge, the search queries will still open in Bing.com. To change the default search from Bing to Google, you will need to install a browser extension that can redirect the Bing search to Google on your default browser (Chrome or Firefox) .
For Google Chrome users, install Chrometana – a Chrome’s extension to redirect Cortana and Bing to Google. Click Add to Chrome to install the extension on your Chrome browser. If the link doesn’t work, you can manually search for Chrometana via the Chrome Web Store.
As for Mozilla Firefox users, Foxtana Pro is a similar extension that can redirect Bing and Cortana to Google. Click Add to Firefox to install the extension on your Firefox browser. You can also manually search for Foxtana Pro via the Firefox Browser Add-ons.
That’s it! If you’ve done all three steps above, try to search for something via the Start menu Search in Windows 11. It will open the search query in Google.com on Chrome (or Firefox).
Изменение поисковой системы в Microsoft Edge
Все способы:
- Вариант 1: Новый Edge (от 79 версии включительно)
- Вариант 2: Старый Edge (до 44 версии включительно)

Вариант 1: Новый Edge (от 79 версии включительно)
Как многие пользователи Edge уже знают, Microsoft перевела этот браузер на движок Chromium, из-за чего существенно изменился интерфейс приложения. Произошло это с обновлением Windows 10 до версии 2004, и если вы состоите в числе тех, кто пользуется новым веб-обозревателем от Майкрософт, выполните следующие шаги:
- Нажмите на кнопку «Меню» и перейдите в «Настройки».
- Кликните по системной кнопке «Параметры», откуда переключитесь в раздел «Конфиденциальность и службы».
- Последним его пунктом и стала нужная вам настройка — «Адресная строка».
- Если хотите поменять поисковик на какой-то популярный, скорее всего, он уже есть в списке базовых. Разверните выпадающее окно и подберите сайт из предложенных. После выбора можно закрыть вкладку с настройками и проверить, была ли изменена поисковая система.
- В случае отсутствия нужного варианта перейдите в «Управление поисковыми системами».
- Нажмите на кнопку «Добавить».
- В первом поле формы впишите сам URL-адрес, во втором — название поисковой системы. Третье же, «URL-адрес с %s вместо запроса», разъясним немного подробнее.
- В соседней вкладке откройте поисковик, который хотите сделать основным. Создайте там любой запрос, и когда тот выдаст результаты, скопируйте адресную строку целиком.
- В ней должно содержаться то слово, которое вы вводили в поиск, в формате q=слово.
- Вернитесь в настройки Edge, вставьте скопированную строку. Найдите там это слово — часть ссылки в виде q=lumpics — и вместо lumpics напишите %s. Должно получиться как на примере ниже.
- Теперь сохраните результат и проверьте, все ли было сделано правильно, вписав любой запрос в адресную строку. При допущении ошибки в выполнении инструкции переход на страницу поисковой системы по вашему запросу осуществлен не будет.
Вариант 2: Старый Edge (до 44 версии включительно)
В своем прежнем виде Edge могут наблюдать лишь пользователи Windows 10 не позднее версии 1909. Здесь он еще на фирменном движке и с другим управлением.
- Первым делом откройте вкладку с поисковиком, который желаете добавить. Сделать это нужно для того, чтобы браузер смог его обнаружить и предложить установить службой поиска по умолчанию. Непривычная схема, однако здесь это работает именно так — классическая форма с выбором или добавлением URL здесь отсутствует.
- Через кнопку «Меню» перейдите в «Параметры».
- Через левую панель переключитесь в раздел «Дополнительно».
- Найдите блок «Поиск в адресной строке», где кликните по кнопке «Изменить службу поиска».
- Отобразится список поисковиков: та, что установлена по умолчанию сейчас (скорее всего, это Яндекс), фирменный Bing от Microsoft и обнаруженная.
- Выделите ее и нажмите «Использовать по умолчанию».
