Use EdgeDeflector for Chrome Windows Searches

The main annoyance with PopOS that send me back to Windows for my desktop OS was the removal of system searching from the Super/Windows key. It’s there, just nerfed significantly and no longer combined with viewing everything open and running. So I was overjoyed to discover how quick and simple searching with the Windows key is in Windows these days, even more so when I discovered EdgeDeflector that automatically opens Chrome instead of Edge when a search doesn’t hit on something locally.

This is the same as Command + Space on a Mac.

It’s a search-centric world and those who learn it will dominate in productivity (or have more time for family, games, or hacking).

By the way, Microsoft tried to block it, yet another reason not to use Windows 11.
