Redirect non-Edge Bing to preferred search engine #290

Closed ArcaEge closed 1 year ago

ArcaEge commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Some Microsoft programs don't use the microsoft-edge: handler but use https://www.bing.com/..., therefore redirecting to Bing. Allow redirection of those links to the preferred search engine.

Scenario when this would be used?

Visual Studio uses https: but also redirects to Bing:

Supporting information

I am aware that Chrometana exists, however it would be useful to have this functionality built into the app

Due to how MSEdgeRedirect is currently setup, this isn't able to be implemented. However, it will be an available feature once I allow MSEdgeRedirect to Redirect URLs to a Browser other than the default one.

@MarcGuiselin's Wedge / Chrometana will always be a better implementation though, even after my solution is added. As it doesn't essentially hotpotato the redirected URL.
