I'm looking to change the browser that Evernote uses to complete a search. I've set Chrome as the default browser. However, in Evernote when I right click on a word and click on "search with Google" it will open up a safari window. But if I click on a hyperlink in the same note it will open up a chrome tab. Bug or am I missing something?

I see the same behavior.

Clearly the EN Mac code has been hard-coded to use Safari, whereas it should use the user-selected default Browser.

Please add Features Missing in EN Mac that are in EN Win.

i could be wrong, but i think this is a setting that is baked into osx. the same behavior occurs in other apps. i don't know if evernote can change it.

@GM, this topic is in the EN Mac forum, not the iOS forum.

Please add Features Missing in EN Mac that are in EN Win.

sigh... are you trying to shush me again jm?

i am obviously talking about osx, as this function (to my knowledge, there is no mouse to right click on the ipad) does not exist in ios.

EDIT: i see now. i mistakenly said "baked into ios" when i meant to say "osx". my comment stands: i believe this may be something beyond evernote's control.
