Edge Chromium default search engine using Microsoft Edge - Policies
- Dec 09, 2020
Ivooo ‘This policy is blocked - its value will be ignored.’ means, that Edge has not recognised your device as AD-Joined or MDM-Managed.
I'm not familiar with "Azure AD-Joined" devices, but as I understand this technology no GPO's are deployed or assigned onto "Azure AD-Joined" devices, so you would have to use MDM to configure their Policies.
Hi Gunnar-Haslinger ,
Thanks for your quick replay, I forgot to mention this but the machines I am testing on are indeed Domain joined and are using Windows 10 Enterprise. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Ivooo
Ivooo I am no way an expert, and still trying to figure things out.. but if you are using Group Policies, I set this up and it works:
Under Computer - Microsoft Edge/Default search provider
Default search provider keyword - enabled - keyword is google.com
Default search provider name - enabled - here i put my company name - Google.
Default search provider search URL - enabled - {google:baseURL}search?q={searchTerms}&{google:RLZ}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}ie={inputEncoding}
Enable the default search provider - enabled
So far google is the default search provider for the address bar as well as when you have the new tab as the search function
Not sure if this will help at all.
