If you make Google your default search engine, you can use Google.com for all your web searches. If your web browser doesn’t have Google set as your default search engine, you might use something else, like Bing, Yahoo, etc., every time you search for something on the web.
How to Make Google the Default Search Engine in Microsoft Edge
Once you set Google as the default search engine in your favorite browser, you can perform searches directly within the browser window without having to open the Google URL. For example, in most browsers you can erase the URL or open a new tab and then type what you want to search for on Google.
When a web browser is first installed, it is pre-configured with a specific search engine feature. When you perform a search, that search engine is used instead of anything else.
Changing your default search engine is simply choosing a different website to perform searches on. For example, if Bing, Yandex, or Safari is the default search engine in your browser, you can change it to Google.
