    Microsoft, making BING Search the default and not allowing us to change is PATHETIC


    I just updated per MS recommendation and am now unable to get back to Google Search. Even changing the preferred engine in Windows 10 and Chrome to Google Search doesn't do it. You've done a great job of blocking the competition, but you sure as hell lost a fan.

  4. Microsoft, making BING Search the default and not allowing us to change is PATHETIC

    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?
