Setting Google as Default Search Provider (Group Policy)
WC_KStill So, it is quite likely that Edge is doing this slightly differently:
In the 'Default Search providers' list they are listing a keyword for the search provider:
In addition to the actual code line for the search:
{google:baseURL}search?q=%s&{google:RLZ}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:iOSSearchLanguage}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}{google:contextualSearchVersion}ie={inputEncoding}
I am not sure how or why but after switching the GPO's from Computer to User policies this started working...
Here is what I am using
The exact values copy/paste from Microsoft
WC_KStill Well, glad you found what appears to be a solution for you.
Given that I've not needed to force specific ones for specific users, I've typically done it entirely in Computer Policy.
After you configured the computer policy, did the setting update on the 'Privacy and Services > Address Bar' page? Or just on the configuration page? (Prior to changing the configuration to User Based')
