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?

 

Search Windows in Winodws 10 is not working when the PC is not connected to the Internet

Hello Arun,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• When you say “Search windows in Windows 10 is not working when the PC is not connected to the internet”, do you mean the search window does not show up at all when you press Windows logo key?
• Do you get any error message/error code when you launch the Search window when not connected to internet?
  

You may be facing this issue due to some of the corrupt Windows search files or settings missing from your computer. Sometimes running a simple troubleshooter will resolve the issue.



Method 1: I suggest you to run the Search and Indexing troubleshooter by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type
  troubleshooter and select the top most search result.
• Click on View all from left side panel of the screen.
• Select Search and Indexing, click on
  Advanced option and check Apply repairs automatically
  option.
• Follow the on screen instructions.
• Close the window after troubleshooting is completed and check if the changes are effective.

Method 2: If the issue persists, run the
PowerShell commands from the following steps and check if the issue persists.



Windows PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language designed especially for system administration. Built on the
.NET Framework, Windows PowerShell helps IT professionals and power users control and automate the administration of the Windows operating system and applications that run on Windows.



Step 1: Open an Administrator command window by

• Right click on the taskbar and select task manager.
• Click on More details located at the bottom of the task manager window.
• Click File and select Run New Task. Make sure you have a check mark beside
  Create this task with administrative privileges.
• Type CMD

Step 2: Type the following commands in the CMD Prompt:



dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannow



Step 3: After running the above commands and it shows no remaining issues, run the below commands:



powershell

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}



Step 4: Check to make sure the above command ran, shows a blue progress indicator and then returns to the prompt.

• If you see a red error, then the command may have been typed or pasted incorrectly, or there may be a larger problem with Windows 10. Try again.

Step 5: Check the issue is resolved.

• If not, restart the PC. In this case try as a new
  Administrator user account.

Write back to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.
