Right-click on the Start button, click on System, and enter Default in the search box. That will let you designate various default apps.


There is no entry there for search engine...

Well, it's a mystery to me. Right now, I can't find any way to change the search engine, although Google is set as the default.

Try this - https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/464?hl=en

Yes, it's a long process, but it does work.

Not for me. It is already set to Google.

Well if you start up Chrome (or any web browser) and it goes to Bing that means the home page is set to Bing. There is a setting for search engine in Chrome.

Try www.qwant.com they are in France. They claim never to withhold your personal information.
When you use Google and go on a business or product site, you get their advertising until the cows come
so to speak.

It might take some time to go through these 97,500,000 links, but you should find a solution among them. : )

What's annoying about searches is that the first half dozen results are described as "Ad". They are about the search, but not necessarily directly.
