In a major shift, Apple is changing its search results provider for Siri and Spotlight on iOS and macOS from Microsoft's Bing to the vastly more popular Google. The change has started to roll out today and should be in effect for all users by the end of the day.

For users, this means Siri and Spotlight will now provide the same search results as Safari by default.

Apple says that the move is intended to make search results consistent: "Switching to Google as the web search provider for Siri, Search within iOS and Spotlight on Mac will allow these services to have a consistent web search experience with the default in Safari," reads an Apple statement sent this morning.
