MSEdgeRedirect

Windows Search has been criticized for its inefficiency, particularly in locating files and applications, and its integration with Bing often frustrates users who prefer other search engines. Microsoft previously allowed users to choose their preferred browser for searches, but this option was removed, leading some to disable web search features. A tool called MSEdgeRedirect allows users to replace Bing with Google or other search engines, though it does not completely eliminate Bing results. MSEdgeRedirect can be downloaded from GitHub, installed with or without admin rights, and configured to redirect searches to the user's chosen search engine. After using MSEdgeRedirect, users can achieve more relevant search outcomes, especially for location-based queries, although Bing results may still appear in search highlights. Other tools like OpenWebSearch and GoAwayEdge are also available as alternatives to enhance the search experience.
