Windows 10: Windows 10 with Internet Explorer 11 and Bing desktop and default search engine.

I just discovered under "My saves" on the Bing menu that I have 12 items listed all with a zero beside them. In the middle of the page, it says "You haven't saved anything yet." I DO NOT want these 12 items on my computer and need to 'Delete' them, but have found no way that works so far. Would appreciate help from anyone on dealing with this issue.


Thanks.

IE 11: Set Google as Default Search Engine by Policy

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

To change the default search engine, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check:

1. Open Internet Explorer. Click the gear menu
at the top-right corner of the Internet Explorer window and select
Manage add-ons.

2. Select the Search Providers category in the Manage Add-ons window and click the Find more search providers link at the bottom of the window.

3. Locate your preferred search engine on the gallery page that appears. Google is listed on the page, but you’ll also find other search engines.

4. Click the Add to Internet Explorer button on the page. When the Add Search Provider window appears, click the
Make this my default search provider checkbox and click Add.

5. Google will now be your default search engine

6. However, Internet Explorer 11 may not actually use your new search engine until you close and reopen the browser.

Hope the information helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We are here to assist you.
