I I didn't find your video helpful I'm trying to set the default for Google and it says Google default however when I go on the search page it does not show up as Google and then I con is not doesn't come up on Google
Update: I just said piss on it and went back to Google browser. I like it and am more comfortable with it than edge I just erased all the edge icons so I don't press them by accident . Thanks for any and all help I received on here.
Oh my goodness thank you so much for your clear and easy to follow instructions ... I'm tech challenged 😬 so was trying to figure out how to do it for over an hour and with your help I had it done in 2 minutes ... 😁
This wasn't working for me, until I realized something. After you do what he tells you to in the video, make sure that when you type whatever topic you are searching for in the address bar, it doesn't say "Bing Search" next to it. You need to retype whatever you are searching for, and it must say "Google Search" next to what you typed in the address bar. If you searched for that same topic previously in Bing, it will autofill and bring you right back to Bing again. Type your topic out fully again and make sure it doesn't say "Bing Search" next to it.
doesn't work for me.I put in the search term and google search next to it but then it adds bing search right before I click enter and I'm left without options. Gonna have to get another browser and import my passwords all over again because of this.
I don't think you have the latest update to windows 10 installed yet. In my version you cannot see the Search Engine Change box which makes it seemingly impossible to change it to Google. Any change of updating, please.
Hi, i used your video which was very comprehensive and helpful but my hp laptop does not have the option to change the search engine used. Is there another method that you know of?
@@Kali-8 Indeed, you're crying because you got caught out. Trolling is sad and pathetic. Do something better with your time. Research is a good idea 😉 🙄
this is a super late comment. but. Ive followed these steps and it does say that google is my default browser. However, when i launch edge it still defaults to bing. have any idea why this may be happening?
Oh my goodness! This is the easiest way to change back to Google. I can't thank you enough! I used to like Bing, but they don't let you copy links, if you do, it just shows "Bing something or other" I hate that, you can't tell what you've copied unless you open it. What a huge waste of time, or am I doing it wrong? Anyway, I like Google better and you saved me a lot of headaches. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, SO VERY MUCH! :)
Thank you Russell for a no nonsense approach to answering a question without the need like other youtubers (ie American) to go chapter and verse of whats happened on the planet since the ice age before getting to the subject of the video, brilliant!!!!
It doesn't allow to switch for anything other than bing. I can't even click the drop down menu for it, it's shaded and has a red circle with a line though it when I hover over it.
@@chrissheppard342 Sort of--I couldn't get it to work on Micosoft Edge. So i downloaded google Chrome and use that with no difficulties. I Hope that helps!
This isn't quite what I want to do, though I have changed it. I want to change bing to google when I click open a new tab (+ top tab). When I do this is opens microsoft bing search not google. I have changed my settings so if I click the home icon it opens google, but I just want google to open first time! Thanks
I'm the exact same, that's the problem i have. Surely there is someone that knows how to do it . I have been trying to fix this since Bing hijacked my laptop.
Watch (Mikes Unboxing & reviews video) The title is(Force Microsoft to use Google search and remove Bing new tabs he shows you how to change your new tabs to google instead of Bing . I don't know anything about this but was very clear and easy to do. It worked for me first time. Thought this might help anyone reading this.
Thank you so much! It worked. But now how can I get it to open with my little group of shortcuts on the screen. I feel like it should be super simple, but can't see how.
Excellent and informative video. The narration is easy to follow and the video quality is great. I tied it on windows10 and it changed the default search engine but for some reason the search engine in the lower left search windows did not change, feedback would be most apreciated
Thank you! 😊 If you mean it stills shows Bing on new tabs when you open them, then that's right. This instructions only change the search engine used from the address bar. I'm not sure what you mean by lower left search windows. But anyway, this video is just about the search engine used in the address bar.
Well when we open New tab on Edge it won't show a Google search completely but when you hit enter then it will be shown in Google(if you choose it) Thank you so much brother, this is what i wanted😎❤
That is weird I did the trick and it lets me use google when I type in the HTML bar but it still defaults to Yahoo when I type in the browser search bar. and I can't repeat this as yahoo and Bing are already removed
This video is about changing the search engine used from the address bar. Not what page opens in Edge when you start the browser. You can set Google to open when you start the browser. But not when you open a new tab.
Read the comments below. The setting in the video changed the search engine used from the address bar. Not the search engine displayed when you open a new tab. That can’t be changed.
The way to do it is like this : Settings then the start, home and new tabs option then 3rd option down on the right side (called open these pages) then click on the add a new page button then enter your chosen url (you can in fact add more pages on start up if you want). Now, your chosen page will open up when you start Edge
I have tried the way showen here - settings - privacy - address bar and search - google. exit browser then return but the search bar is still Bing for some reason when i bring up Edge?
Personally, I prefer using the search box over the search bar because searching from the center of the screen, rather than the upper left, feels more ergonomic. However, the search box always seems to default to Bing for some reason.
hello, i tried doing this but it said my default browser was google chrome, but when i open a new tab it sends me to bing, how do i fix this?, and i have another problem but im not sure if your able to help with it, everytime i try to play an online game it dosent work even though my internet and firewall are fine, and i cant call a tech because i dont live in america so i cant call a tech guy to my house,
I have 2 Google accounts. One search engine is Google while the other has become Bing. The opening page is Bing. I would like it also to be Google, however when I click on Bing settings Google settings (not Bing) comes up so of course all/most of the droptab choices are different
Mikes Unboxing reviews & how to, i fixed mine with watching this video. Its title is force Microsoft edge to use google search & remove Bing new tabs. Worked for me and i know nothing about tech stuff. Hopefully helps you
You can configure the 'Manage Search Engines' setting in Group Policy under User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge. Add the following string to the setting: [{"allow_search_engine_discovery":true},{"is_default":true,"search_url":"www.google.com/search?q={searchTerms}","name":"Google","keyword":"google.com"}]
me paso lo mismo, resulta que era una extension que tenia en microsoft edge la que me obligaba a usar bing. desactiva las extensiones para ver si eso te afecta
thanks but when i search up stuff like ANYHTING it says the website is suspicious and it bring me to the lost cinnection page either way i already have connection.
You can't change what Edge shows on the tab page itself. It will always show Bing. The instructions in the video are for changing the search engine used from the address bar only.

can i put it to when i open a new tab google opens as well? or does it only open google when you first open edge?
This video is about changing the search engine used from the address bar. Not what page opens in Edge when you start the browser. You can set Google to open when you start the browser. But not when you open a new tab.
You need to download an extension called New Tab Redirect from the CHROME app store.
You can set a URL for new tabs.
Thank me later 😉
Oh and please don't use Google as your default search engine, if you care about privacy!

That’s very strange. It sounds like there’s some problem with your browser installation.
I followed the steps but still have to type google every time I want to use it? What did I do wrong?
I don't know. Check you are searching in the address bar and cleared your search history. Then check the settings shown in the video again
What does one do when one opens tabs, but they're still stuck on the previous search engine? I want them all to be Google.
You can't change what Edge shows on the tab page itself. It will always show Bing. The instructions in the video are for changing the search engine used from the address bar only.
