Cortana Searches Now Only Available for Microsoft Edge

As Microsoft keeps on growing the functionality of Cortana on Windows 10, the company has turned its attention for closing down certain sorts of hacks that could affect the way the digital assistance is expected to work. In particular, Microsoft says Cortana ventures will now just open in Microsoft Edge. This is to keep certain hacks that permitted clients to change Cortana's default internet searcher by utilizing different programs — conceivably preventing the company's expected search experience.

Microsoft clarifies: Unfortunately, as Windows 10 has grown in adoption and usage, we have seen some software programs circumvent the design of Windows 10 and redirect you to search providers that were not designed to work with Cortana. The result is a compromised experience that is less reliable and predictable. The continuity of these types of task completion scenarios is disrupted if Cortana can't depend on Bing as the search provider and Microsoft Edge as the browser. The only way we can confidently deliver this personalized, end-to-end search experience is through the integration of Cortana, Microsoft Edge, and Bing – all designed to do more for you. As Microsoft points out, this only applies to Cortana searches. You can still set your own default search engine and browser of choice in Windows 10. Cortana, however, will now default to Microsoft Edge and Bing for a unified experience.
