Cortana is a beautiful virtual assistant limited to Bing, but we will tell you how to use Google with Cortana for better results.
Cortana is a magnificent virtual assistant with much to offer, but when you have to relay a “Hey Cortana” command to her, she is hard wired to direct users to Bing. The good news is, if you have Chrome as your default browser, there is a way for you to set Cortana to show you results from Google instead of Bing.
The extension which we are to thank for this, is Chrometana. As the name implies, it is a a Chrome extension that is made to work better with Cortana. Upon installing the extension, users will be prompted to set DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, or Google as their default search engine result page when they use Cortana in Windows 10.
You can download the Extension by clicking here, Chrometana. Installing an extension is a piece of cake, and requires little to no effort.
Once the extension is installed, you have to choose your search engine of choice, and to put the extension to the test, simply do a “Hey Cortana” search by voice or text and the results will surprise you!
This is a handy extension that is definitely handy for those who actively use Cortana in Windows 10 and do rely on search results more often than naught. While Bing is still a good search engine, it still doesn’t have the efficacy and reliability of Google in many elements that are definitely on the wishlist of dedicated Windows 10 users.
Now that we have learned how to use Google with Cortana, this is definitely an extension that you should keep a sharp eye out for. If you know any avid Windows 10 user who desires better search results, this is definitely a recommended extension for you and others.
As an added bonus, you can also use Cortana to directly carry out Google Easter Eggs, type or tell Cortana to “do a barrel roll” with the extension enabled, and you will meet a pleasant surprise.
