    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?

    Disable Search Function

    Greetings all,

    I need to disable the Search function in Windows 10 Pro. Upgraded from Windows 7, where the Search function was listed as a feature and could be disabled as one through the Control Panel. Apparently not so in Win 10 as it's not listed as feature.

    I can disable Cortana and using the Search function to search the web,but in need of disabling the Search function entirely. Computer is in a public environment and needs to be locked down. The unit has only one purpose and that is accessed through the browser.

    I am unable to find a way through the Policy settings and through PowerShell.

    Appreciate the help,

    Russ

    Win 10 search function

    Search function from right margin in Win 8.1 lost when I upgraded to Win 10.

    Search function from right margin in Win 8.1 lost when I upgraded to Win 10.

    Now I can't type a Word file name or specific word and get a list of all of
    my     Word documents or Folders with that word. (I
    hate Cortana - so I'd like to avoid using it). I went from XP to 8.1 and found either platform much easier searching for my files (old and new) than in Win 10.

    Is there a way to restore the 8.1 search function in Win 10 or get something that replicates it? Thx.
