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)
