Associate Cent with Cortana searches
#1
Hello,

On Windows 10, despite the default browser you choose in the Settings app, searches made with Cortana in the taskbar always open in Microsoft Edge.

I recently discovered that Cortana uses the protocol "microsoft-edge:" which appears and can be changed in the Settings (Programs -> Default programs -> Choose default applications by protocol*):

*Translation may not be exact


Sadly only Edge appears in the program list.

I guess associating Cent with this protocol should makes Cortana using Cent instead of Edge. Would it be possible?

Not a bug in Cent, any way there is a guy created a tool to solve such a thing, it's called EdgeDeflector, plus If you hate that Cortana uses Bing search engine, you may as well need to add this Chrometana - Redirect Bing Somewhere Better extension. Good Luck!

This can't be done only by changing the associated program of microsoft-edge: protocol, because there is other special handler for Cortana search.
You may try EdgeDeflector firstly.
