Internet Explorer is Evil: The Story (2010)
> Maybe I'm nuts, but the start menu's web search results seem to ignore default browser settings and only open in Edge
You’re correct on that, Microsoft created a new link type ‘microsoft-edge:’, so that no matter what browser you use. Query’s from the search bar always get sent to Edge. They pulled a very similar move with Outlook where it now opens all links in edge, instead of in the users default browser. But for now, you can still toggle that setting back.
If you want windows searches to open in your default browser, you have to use https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect
- default links open edge
- Windows 11 will respect default browser for system apps in the European Union

Outlook now ignores Windows' Default Browser and opens links in Edge by default
https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect
That should fix it, right?
I use it for quite a long time now and it works with the search bar in the startmenu.

How do I uninstall Microsoft Edge?
I recommend using MSEdgeRedirect. https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect Edge will still be installed, but it'll never be used and even the Windows Edge links will redirect to your preferred browser. It works very well.

Coming back from Edge after Microsoft shifted focus
Bonus points if you use MSEdgeRedirect to completely circumvent Edge systemwide
