As of commit 62e1294 I have removed the ability to chose the "Microsoft Edge" as the preferred browser.
This is because the only way, that I have found, to launch Edge is to call the URI with the microsoft-edge:
protocol in the system shell. This will not do, because that protocol is overridden by this program.
Until I find a way to launch Edge without the protocol, the option has been disabled and commented out of the source code.

Hi, when I launch the installer, a message appears with the following title: "Windows protected your PC" and then triggers the previous problems.
It may be related with these problems and it makes some sense.
Doesn't even work on older versions of Windows 10 (Tested)
Microsoft probably doesn't want the application to work marking it as a virus and inaviliting all its functionalities.
I mean, if Microsoft is able to place a Microsoft Edge ad to avoid installing Chrome or Firefox, imagine what it could do with any other program that it considers a potential danger in its products or services.
You should be in contact with Microsoft to possibly clarify doubts

Once this is installed and set up, the search can't be reverted to default behavior.
Need to make an update to remove protocol handler registry keys after an uninstall.
I followed the installation steps to a T, selected chrome and google, and when I clicked a web link in the start menu for the first time, I set launcher.exe for always
However, the link did not open up, it did simply nothing, no clue as to why.

How to reproduce the problem:
goog
in Cortanagoogle docs
search-deflector should search google docs
in this case but it search goog
instead
Here's the bing link when Edge handle my search instead (unrelated parameters deleted)
https://www.bing.com/search?q=google+docs&pq=goog
The pq
parameter of the link contains the words I have typed (goog
) while the q
parameter contains the actual keywords of my search (google docs
)
The bug is caused by Line 32 of deflector.d
https://github.com/spikespaz/search-deflector/blob/master/source/deflector.d#L32
where getQueryParams(url)["pq"]
extract the pq
parameter of search url instead of the q
parameter

Hi. I'm here to give you a little feedback on bug.
My system version is Windows 10 RS5 Pro.
Regions and languages are set to China.
Cortana's default search engine is cn.bing.com
instead of www.bing.com
,
I don't know if this is the reason why the default search engine can not be properly modified.

I want to use ecosia because "save the trees" but there isn't an option to do so, and the box with the custom search engine URL is greyed out.
Using the latest Chromium Edge Canary version, redirect to this browser works without any issue.
But it still searches with Bing as it's engine.
Furthermore, tried to see if changing the browser of choice worked, by reinstalling it and setting Firefox as it's browser, and it still redirects me too Edge Canary (might be Microsofts doing, with the Chromium shift) and of course still Bing.
Btw thanks for the effort you've put in this program so far!
While trying to update Search Deflector on my laptop, I'm immediately presented with an Out of system resources.
message:
And then again when completing the installation, I'm again presented with an identical error message:
Hardware & Software involved:
HP Spectre-x360 laptop (i7-8550U, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD)
No special steps required to reproduce, simply downloaded v1.0 Search Deflector and double-clicked to run, the messages appeared at each aforementioned event. I tried to completely remove the software, then reboot and reinstall, yet I was faced with the same error issues. Will attempt to install v1.0 again on a desktop PC later today when I get a chance. Thank you for the wonderful software.
Worked after the initial installation but does not work after restarting and I´ve been unable to get t to work since. Start bar searches open in Edge (not Chrome) using Bing (not Google).
Replace the following placeholders with correct information and delete this line.
Browser: Chrome
Search Engine: Google
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I expected my search query to launch Chrome browser and perform a Google search.

Hi Dev,
Loving the app, much more flexible than Edge Deflector, an issue I encountered on Edge Deflector was the same as this, not being able to use the Continue on PC sharing feature on Android when your phone is linked.
Currently on Insider Build 17754.
Cheers.
