I was able to build the executable and it registers just fine. But then it does not seem to work. It seems to be Faulting:

Hi, i recently installed your application.

It worked, but before after i typed my search in the Cortana window, it gave me an option to choose.

However, at the top of the "pop-up", it said current application, "keep using". Then under, a list of other choices. At the bottom left, it had a box, that was not checked, that said, check this box to not show this message in the future, or some variant, of so.

I did not check the box, although it had happened once before, somewhere, i went through your application and it worked perfectly. However, later search attempts did not pop-up that message, for me to choose your application on an a "always-on" solution".

i have not been able to find the answer to fix this problem. Also, if you would please give a "tip" on how to use the "add-on" feature, to bounce it from opening the same page, on Bing, in Firefox, to like searching from Google? Something? Thank you.

I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle...

I ran make.cmd as Administrator, and that error popped up.

I chose to view the info about the error and it took me to this page... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2715633

This is what I found in Windows Features...

I'm running Win10 Enterprise x64, and apparently have no idea what I'm doing.

Please help :)

I just rest my machine. Although I have installed SearchWithMyBrower, it opens Edge w/ Bing search (even though Google is my default in Edge & I've removed all by Google search).
Maybe they've again forced search bar to connect to the new replacement to Edge?

Purchased the app for $.99 and it is shown as being installed but when I try to use it I continually get the message that my trial period is over.

Windows 10 1607 latest version

Used to work perfectly in Firefox despite the removal of "Use this search engine for searches from Windows" option.

After installing and restarting, instead of altering the browser, cortana now doesn't open anything when I ask her to search. The "select a program" window flashes for a second but disappears.

I am using Chrometana and I followed the installation instructions to a T. Uninstalling the program and restarting my computer fixed cortana. My default browser is chrome.

error pops up every time

I dont know if you @charlesmilette intended this Programm to also control the wanted search engine or just the Browser which cortana should open. Still, on the Webpage on which i tumbeld across this Programm it said that SearchWithMyBrowser could also direct search requests to another search engine than bing (I prefer google). Is that correct? And if so why could it be that on my computer Cortana opens Google Chrome but still uses bing (instead of the selectet standart search engine google)?

How do I uninstall? I'm having some quirky issues since installing (just before the powershell update) that I'm not sure are related, but I would like to know how in case I choose that option.

does not recognize it as a batch file internal or external even with the path typed in

nuget.exe can't be launched from system32, when i put it in other places it works fine. How to solve this to make make.cmd work?

I did everything I was supposed to do but it still opens in Edge. My default browser is set to Chrome Canary.

Hey, first off - thanks for making this. I use firefox and I really wanted to integrate Cortana without Edge or Bing.

Everything went as expected with the install and all of my searches open up firefox (yay!) buuut only ever using Bing as the default search engine, which I hate with the passion of 10,000 devils.

It's also contrary to my Firefox default SE settings - is the use of Bing hard-coded somewhere?

So this work well the first time i tried it but then after it would just go back to using cortana. SO SAD :(

Probably caused by the main thread blocking indefinitely.

Using an infinite loop will probably do the job:

while (true)
{
    int two = 1 + 1; // Do work
    Task.Delay(5000).Wait();
}

My first thought was, "Uh oh. It opened chrome, but it still used Bing! Let's make a new issue."
My second thought was, "Hey! It says what to do if this happens! Great!"
My next thought was, "What on Earth do I do with this flag..."

What is that a flag for? In what program? The registry? Is there a config file I missed?

Edit: I do see the links to the browser plugins, but I will only use google and wanted to try the flag.

Hello, I recently installed your program via the webstore (trial) and installed the program. However, it does not do anything. Edge still opens, even though my default is Chrome. Tried toggling the only file extension default in the settings app and restarting but does not work.

I also tried the Edge Deflector and it also did not work, always to Edge...

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers:)

I installed it from the releases (today) after having it before, since the FCU caused it to stop working. Does not seem to function anymore. I wait for a while after having entered my search query into the start menu to see if the dialogue where I can choose how I want to handle the link pops up but nothing happens. Suggestions? Thanks.

i tried to install it
i got edgedeflector thats working
i got the program that can read .iss
if i run make.cmd in the file. it open and says "the system cannot find the path specified. press any key to continue"

I bought it but I changed computers. The new computer doesnt go by the same email but I still have that email. I need a license for my new computer. Can that happen?

My old email is [email protected] that I bought it under.

New one is [email protected]

Can something be done?

Installed the latest release. Nothing.

Get a popup message which says "your organization policies are preventing us from completing this action for you"

Instead the dialog simply states, "Keep using Edge, or search the store."

Everything still opens in Edge / Bing.

I am running Windows 10 1903, and have used this app for a while now.
Recently it has stopped working, it is not opening like in #32 #38

I am using 1.1.2 from the releases tab

The reliability monitor does not show me any crashes

I’m disclosing this in the public bug tracker as emails to the project maintainer are currently bouncing.

Unchecked System.Start(userinput); is a recipe for disaster. To demonstrate, microsoft-edge:calc.exe will launch the Calculator. This can be weaponized.

SearchwithMyBrowser allows websites to execute any command on the target system by fooling the victim to click on a link (e.g. <a href="microsoft-edge:calc.exe">free beer!</a>). Skillful crafting can make this do just about anything as a system user.

Secondarily, some microsoft-edge: links in Windows 10 breaks and ends up calling invalid system commands instead of launching the browser. Microsoft haven’t been entirely consistent with how these URIs are used throughout the system, and SearchwithMyBrowser doesn’t allow for variations like microsoft-edge://example.com and microsoft-edge:example.com.

I found myself having unknowingly having duplicated your program as a weekend project. (Didn’t think to check to see if something like my idea already existed – which of course it did.) In EdgeDeflector, I apply some sanitizing of user input and try to validate it before allowing it to run. You can borrow code from EdgeDeflector under the terms its license (which should be compatible with your preferred license). It’s probably not perfect, so please do share any improvements you may happen to come up with.

I believe Microsoft revamp Cortana again in the Anniversary Update. Went through all the steps as outlined and it worked like a charm. But after a restart it stop working. Maybe an updated version of SearchWithMyBrowser is in order or a variable might needs to be set.

It seems like after a recent update they disallowed a normal reassociation of file types for the file that was being changed.
It defaults to be associated to Microsoft Edge or "Look for an app in the store".
No browse option.

Well, i installed SWMB as written in instruction, marked it as a default but... Cortana refused to work. Literally. After asking to search for cute kittens she ignored me. No error message, no browser opened. Nothing.
Upd. After unregistering and removing SWMB she agreed to searh again.

1st, absolutely brilliant you write this and made it open source!!

It seems Cortana starts the URL with: https://www.bing.com/search?q=
Could you do a string replace to: https://www.google.com/search?q=

Tried installing using install.cmd, also tried the manual installation (from an admin cmd).

Does not give problems, but when attempting to search from craptana, edge is opening up (and chrome is the default browser)...

Any clues?

Thanks!

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.10586 Build 10586

Scince the correct installation of this programm cortana simply cannot open any browser to search my requeat at all. If the Programm might not work with my configuration could you still help me to reset the default Cortana settings so that cortana can open at least edge.

although i have installed the latest version of inno setup but cannot install the program

Error on line 40 in C:\Users\mohamedslama\Temp Apps\SearchWithMyBrowser-master\SearchWithMyBrowser-master\Setup\InnoSetup.iss: Couldn't open include file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5\Languages\Armenian.islu": The system cannot find the file specified.
