I tested Search Deflector in Wind(19041.508).There are few features of Windows 10 that are so useful as the start menu. I cannot confirm this since I have uninstalled it using PrivateZilla ( Spydish). Note: The program's page says it will also work with Cortana. A premium version of the program is available on the Microsoft Store, but there are no functional differences between it and the free version on GitHub. Search Deflector is an open source software. If you want to change the search settings, run the program again and customize it to your liking. Search for something in the start menu and hit enter, your web search will open in the browser and search engine that you selected. Scroll to the part where it says Microsoft Edge and click on the button next to it and select Deflector.exe. To fix this, open the Windows Settings app > Apps > Default Apps > Choose Default apps by protocol. Note: If you didn't set Deflector as default, your searches may open in Edge with Bing. Check the box to set it as the default app. Select "Search Deflector" from the list by clicking on "Deflector. Press Enter or click on the "Open browser" button, you'll see a pop-up prompting you to select an app for the function. Click on the Windows start button and perform a search query. Hit the Apply button when you're done configuring the search protocol. The last option in Search Deflector lets you select your browser's user profile, which is useful if you've more than one. If you use this, you'll need to set the custom search engine URL (command) manually. The "Custom" option allows you to use any search engine that isn't listed in Search Deflector. You can choose from the following options: DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Amazon,, Baidu, Bing, Ecosia, Quant, Stack Overflow, YouTube,, Ask, Yahoo, Wolfram Alpha, GitHub, Wikipedia, Google and Startpage. The next menu is used to select the preferred Search Engine.
