    The third-party solution (Search Deflector) is for personal use. For the exam, remember that Group Policy and registry edits can disable web search in Start Menu, but they cannot change the provider from Bing.

    Create a new string value called URL by right-clicking on the "SearchScopes" key and selecting "New" > "String Value."

    At present, only third-party tools are capable of redirecting the system search to Google
