When Brave handles `microsoft-edge:` protocol searches use user's default search instead of Bing
See original GitHub issueDescription
Follow up to https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/13875
Searching in the built in Windows Search will direct queries to Brave when the microsoft-edge: protocol handler is setup 👍
However, it will always do a search using bing.com. We have the ability to intercept this and replace with the user’s default search. For example, above search was resulting in this query: https://www.bing.com/search?q=shoes&form=WNSGPH&qs=AS&cvid=d53e967be4de4c838b4d0acbdea846f6&pq=shoes&cc=US&setlang=en-US&nclid=D66578AD81C68AE27DB24A0A6978176D&ts=1629870667294&wsso=Moderate
Steps to Reproduce
- Setup Brave as the protocol handler for
microsoft-edge: - Do a search (Press Windows key, type
shoes) - Click
See web results
Actual result:
Query opens in Brave but opens using Bing
Expected result:
Query should open using the user’s default search engine

I would probably not want this feature, when I’m searching in Windows Search, I want the search results of Bing not anyone else, if I would, I would open Brave itself for the query, don’t see this useful, but shout out 🙌 to Brave for adding support to
