Every search engine has its own search algorithm and depending on user’s personal preference and experience, they can change their default search engines. Most of the web browsers like Chrome, Opera and Mozilla Firefox provide in-built settings in order to switch to other search engines. One way to change the search engine is to install a fresh copy of a new browser and follow its instructions to do so. But here in this article, I will demonstrate a simple way to change the search engine from inside the different browser’s settings.
