David,

         Thanks for that invaluable piece of information that changing your 
default web browser can allow you to also change your default search provider 
where Cortana is involved.  

         I honestly can't remember at this point, but I believe that Edge is 
actually set up as the default web browser under Windows 10 and you have to 
tweak settings to make IE the default.  That makes me wonder if you could play 
the same trick with IE by changing it's default search engine?  I don't use IE 
with any regularity, but instructions for changing its default search engine to 
Google on their help site read:Internet Explorer 11Open Internet Explorer.In 
the top right corner of the search box, click the down arrow.Click Add.Select 
Google.Click Add to Internet Explorer.Check the box next to"Make this my 
default search provider."Click Add.

One can, of course, select something other than the Google search engine and 
follow the same process.

Brian
