I type in the address bar to search, and when I do it leads me to Bing, but I want to change it so it leads me to Google. How do I do this?

For example, if I type in "yahoo" into the address bar without a .com after it, it leads me to Bing. I want to change it so it leads me to Google when I do this. How can I do that?

That does not help me. I tried what it recommended and it didn't work. It still takes me to Bing. I just want to be able to type something in the address bar and have Google come up instead of Bing.
