Hi, Most of the time when I search, the engine automatically used is Bing and not Google. This is despite setting Google as default.

Is this an annoying bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Never mind. This was caused when "Microsoft SwiftKey deep search" is toggled on. This was enabled by default in SwiftKey. Once I turned it off, I am now always taken to Google results and no more of Bing's.

Thanks.

THANK YOU!!!! I've been searching for weeks on how to solve this switching to Bing issue. Swiftkey should somehow document this or fix the issue.
