  2. Google as default search

    On my new Samsung Notebook 9 I want to make Google the default search engine in Internet Explorer. I open Explorer, click on tools, click on manage add-ons and then click on search providers. That shows me a list which includes Bing (twice) and Google.
    In the far right column under "search suggestions" Bing is listed as "enabled" and Google is listed as "not available." How do I make Google available?

  3. How to use Google to do searching with Bing as default & Google search added in the setup

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    Please be informed that you cannot set two search engines as default at the same time. If you're looking for how to set Google as your default search engine then follow the steps below:

    • Click the gear icon in the top right corner of the browser window.
    • Select Manage add-ons.
    • Select Search Providers.
    • In the bottom left corner of your screen, click Find more search providers.
    • Select Google.
    • Click the Add to Internet Explorer button.
    Note: These steps are for Internet Explorer.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    search defaulting to Google maps

    If I type anything on the search bar, it seems to add - 'Google maps search' to the end of everything.

    For instance if I type:-

    abc

    the underlying suggestion shows

    abc - Google Maps Search

    and dumps me into Google Maps.

    If anyone has any suggestion on how to get rid of this Google Maps default it would be much appreciated.

    Many thanks Neil T
