How to Change Your Default Search Engine to Bing in Chrome

Want Bing instead of Google in Chrome’s address bar? Here’s how to set Bing as your default search engine in just a few clicks.

Chrome uses Google by default, but switching to Bing only takes a few clicks. Here’s how to make Bing your default search engine in Chrome on desktop.

How to Set Bing as Your Default Search Engine

  1. Click the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings.
  2. Click Search engine in the left menu.
  3. Open the dropdown under Search engine used in the address bar.
  4. Choose Bing from the list. If you don’t see it, click Manage search engines and site search, search for “bing.com” under site search, and click Make default.

Quick Tips

  • You can switch back to Google or try another engine like DuckDuckGo the same way.
  • This setting only changes searches typed in the address bar, not your homepage.

Now every search you type into Chrome’s address bar will run through Bing instead of Google.

    I just installed Chrome and realized that the default search engine was automatically set to bing.com….wtf? I thought google would have made google.com the default. Is this a mistake?

      my guess is that you imported settings from another browser where Bing was the default search engine. Google says their goal is to not be evil… this bodes well for that endeavor.

        nope .. I didn’t import settings from another browser.
        and you know what, bing showed as one of the available search engines soon after an update, google did add it to the list of search engines.
