If you like to use Google as the default search engine in Edge, this tip is for you: You can get Google search results directly from the Windows 10 taskbar, even with search suggestions.

Bad news: Windows 10 does not allow you to pick Google as the standard / default search for the Windows 10 Taskbar search field.
Good news: It does not matter!

As Windows 10 opens search results with the default browser, there is an easy workaround. You just have to switch to Google Chrome as your main browser of Windows 10 and then make it translate Bing search results into Google results. Thanks to some smart developers, this is very easy.

1. Install Google Chrome

2. Set Google Chrome as default browser in Windows 10

If you had Chrome already installed, make sure to set it as the default browser in Windows 10. Type default browser in the Windows 10 task bar search field and select Choose a default web browser in the settings.
