Modify Default Office 2013 Search With Bing to Google
While there are some things I dislike in Office 2013 ( The limited "Office Theme" being one of them) One of the features in Office 2013 that I like is the "Search with" but by default it is set to "Search with Bing" I would rather use Google. By two simple registry additions we can change this to "Search with Google" Open the registry editor (start \ run \ regedit) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General 1) Right click in an open area of the right pane. Click New Select String Value Add the value name = SearchProviderName Add the value data = Google 2) Right click in the open area of the right pane again. Click New Select String Value Add the value name = SearchProviderURI Add the value data = http://www.google.com/search?q= (Note the last letter in the value name is i as in indigo not l as in lima)
