MSEdgeRedirect can now redirect Windows Bing search requests to Google

MSEdgeRedirect is an alternative to Edge Deflector and has been updated to version 0.6 with some useful new features. MSEdgeRedirect can redirect Windows news, search, gadgets, weather, etc. to your default browser. The tool filters and passes the command line parameters of the Microsoft Edge process to your default browser instead of hooking the Microsoft-edge handler.

After Microsoft prevented it from taking over the Microsoft-edge: agreement, Edge Deflector would not function. The MSEdgeRedirect method may provide flexibility to future changes. However, unlike Edge Deflector, it needs to run continuously in the background, but the app can be set to run automatically at startup.

The latest version allows you to redirect you to searches that usually go to Bing or Bing Weather, which means you can finally use the news and interest taskbar gadgets without any worries, and you can even perform a Google search from Windows search instead of Bother to do it again.
