    Search Google for searches from Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge

    Search Google for searches from Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge As is known I hope everyone, with the latest versions of every web browser you can search the Internet from the address bar. Su tutti i browser basta scrivere una parola o una frase sulla barra indirizzi per avviare la ricerca su Google, se esso è il motore di ricerca predefinito. La stessa cosa avviene sui browser per cellulari Android o iPhone, dove la barra degli indirizzi può essere utilizzata per fare ricerche col motore predefinito. La ricerca su internet, in el paese, non ha purtroppo alternative e deve sempre essere fatta con Google, l'unico che veramente funziona bene (gli altri come Bing o DuckDuckGo, nella versione del paese, sono piuttosto inefficienti).
    If for some reason, following the installation of a program, of a very annoying toolbar or for one click too many, we find ourselves with a browser that has a search engine other than Google (usually it's Bing or Yahoo, but there are also fake search engines full of advertisements), let's see in this guide how change the browser's default search engine on PC, Android Smartphone, iPhone and iPad, to Google search on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and the newcomer to Windows, Edge.

    Search Google on Microsoft Edge

    On Windows 10 the default browser is Edge which basically searches from the address bar using Bing. If we intend to use Google as a search engine, click on the icon with the three dots at the top right, click on Settings and then we go to the left side menu Privacy and Services. On the right, we scroll down until we find the row Address bar and press on it.
    The search engine options will then open. Press on the button with three dots next to Google and then choose Set as default.
    The Google search engine will also appear in the list (automatically identified by the browser); to add it all we have to do is press on it and select Imposta eat predefined.

    If we use Edge as a browser on Android and iOS, open the app, press the icon with the three dots at the bottom right, go to Settings -> Advanced settings and select Google next to the item Search engine. If we do not find the Google voice immediately, we tap the button Others and select Google to correctly set the browser search engine.

    Conclusions

    Changing the search engine within modern browsers is relatively easy, both if we need to make the change on the PC browser and if we need to adjust the browser on our smartphone or tablet.

    If your browser keeps changing search engine without warning, even after manually changing it, there may be a "spy" add-on or malware to remove.
    In this regard, we advise you to clean up browser viruses by reading our guide on how remove viruses from Chrome and Firefox when slow or with too much advertising.
    If the problem is caused by a virus hidden inside Windows and we want to restore the browser to its initial settings, we recommend that you read our two guides on how clean the PC infected with malware by deleting all traces e ripristinare i Browser Chrome, Firefox, Edge.
