Pixel Launcher to soon allow users to change the default search engine
Pixel Launcher will soon allow you to choose the default web 'Search engine'. The app build that comes with Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3 contains a hidden search settings item called "Search Engine". This feature will allow you to choose an app for the web search.

And make it open in Firefox, right. Right?
That's already possible. I have my default browser set as Firefox and for Google to open links in browser.
Wow. I did not know about that at all, thanks
Just for anyone looking how to do this, you should have your default web browser set to Firefox (settings -> apps -> default apps) then swipe up from the home screen, search for the "Google" app, tap your profile picture in the top right, and go to settings -> general -> uncheck "Open web pages in the app."
Thank you for this!
Omg amazing
I started with this, but I have trained myself to use the search bar at the bottom of the home page as the beginning so often. That automatically opens Chrome regardless, unless you switch launcher.
I use the search bar on the home screen with the above settings, and it opens search results in firefox.
Cool! Very good to know
