The Bing to Google Chrome extension seamlessly redirects your Bing search queries to Google. This ensures you get Google’s powerful search results even when the system or apps default to Bing.

When used alongside the Edge Deflector, it enables you to perform Google searches directly from the Cortana toolbar, bypassing Bing entirely. This combined solution enhances productivity by integrating Google’s search capabilities into Windows features that normally default to Bing, providing a smoother and more familiar search experience.

User reviews

The 'Bing to Google' add-on reliably redirects Bing search queries to Google, working well for most users especially alongside EdgeDeflector. Users appreciated the simplicity and effectiveness of the add-on. However, multiple reviews noted the lack of a toolbar toggle button was inconvenient before one was added, requiring manual enable/disable through settings. Additionally, redirecting Windows search bar queries could be inconsistent, necessitating page refreshes. Overall, the add-on successfully fulfills its purpose with minor usability improvements suggested by users.

Pros

Effectively redirects Bing search queries to Google search engine.
Works well especially when combined with tools like EdgeDeflector to fully redirect searches.
Simple and reliable functionality with minimal issues for many users.
Allows quick toggling between Bing and Google via a toggle button added after user feedback.

Cons

Initially lacked a convenient toolbar button to enable or disable the add-on quickly, requiring manual disable/enable through settings.
Did not always redirect searches initiated from the Windows search bar even with EdgeDeflector involved, requiring page refreshes to switch to Google.
Some users experienced issues saving default search engine settings, causing inconsistent behavior.
