Windows 11 search may soon use your default browser

Windows 11's Start menu search may soon respect users' chosen default browser, like Google Chrome, instead of defaulting to Microsoft Edge. Recent Microsoft Edge updates contain flags suggesting Windows Search will launch links in the user's preferred browser. This change aims to resolve the current issue where Windows Search redirects to Edge even when another browser is set as default. The update also hints at improved search functionality within Edge settings and better handling of favicons for search results, though rollout timing and regional availability remain unknown.
