#SECURE SEARCH DEFAULTS TO BING SEARCH INSTALL#
It’s likely a future installation or update will install the extension and set Bing as the default search engine for Google Chrome. So if you’re installing or updating to Version 2002 or later, and the extension isn’t installed, that is probably expected and not necessarily an error. That’s because we’re gradually rolling out this change, first to new installations and then to existing installations. Not all devices with Version 2002 or later will receive the extension right away. For example, the Welcome screen in Google Chrome looks similar to this: It’ll be available to the bleeding edge in February, but normal folks (on the “Semi-Annual Channel branch,” you gotta love the terminology) won’t see it until July.Īfter the extension for Microsoft Search in Bing is installed, your users will see a Welcome screen. Microsoft Search is part of Microsoft 365 and is turned on by default for all Microsoft apps that support it.įirst of all, “Version 2002” is Microsoft’s incredibly stupid way of saying the February 2020 update to Office 365 Pro Plus. Pardon me while I pick my jaw up off the floor.īy making Bing the default search engine, users in your organization with Google Chrome will be able to take advantage of Microsoft Search, including being able to access relevant workplace information directly from the browser address bar. This extension will be installed with new installations of Office 365 ProPlus or when existing installations of Office 365 ProPlus are updated. Starting with Version 2002 of Office 365 ProPlus, an extension for Microsoft Search in Bing will be installed that makes Bing the default search engine for the Google Chrome web browser.
#SECURE SEARCH DEFAULTS TO BING SEARCH PATCH#
In it, Microsoft seems to be saying that everyone who installs the latest patch for Office 365 ProPlus will have their default search engine in Google Chrome changed to Bing. I’m getting lots of questions about a bizarre but official post from ‘Softie Daniel Brown entitled Microsoft Search in Bing and Office 365 ProPlus. Is this “Office as a Service,” or just another poorly worded Microsoft announcement?
