    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

    :)

  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?

    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?

    • Select Search Providers.

    • Select Google.
