There can be several reasons for changing the search engine to locate something on the web. For instance, you want to pledge your support in making the world a more sustainable place by using Ecosia.

How do I get Google on Echo?

First, make sure your Echo Show device is updated to the latest firmware version. Then, swipe down from the top of the Home Screen to select Settings.

Expand the Settings menu to go to the Device Options.

Once there, scroll down to the Web Options entry and tap it to expand its menu.

Choose the browser heading and when directed to a new screen, hit the Browser Settings link.

Now, move to the Advanced Settings section. There, tap the Search engine option.

A window should pop up with the following options.

• Bing (default)
• Google.
• Yahoo!
• DuckDuckGo.
• Ecosia.

From the list of options seen above, select the desired Search engine and exit. Hereafter, your Amazon Echo Show will use Google to retrieve answers to questions. You can undo the changes made any time and set the default search engine back to Bing by following the same list of instructions again. That's it!

Hope it makes sense!
