How to change the search engine?

I just bought my first HP laptop. This is my first laptop ever, it's a HP Pavilion. I don't know how to change the default Bing search engine, I want to use Google. Help?

Kate, welcome to the forum.

Congratulations on your first ever HP laptop!  I am sure that you will enjoy using it.

If you left click on the far left of the search box, you should get a drop down search engines that are available.  Select 'Google' and it will become your default.

Please, click on "Thumbs Up +" if I helped you and click "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.

  • How to change the search engine when you use the functionality of Firefox Home button Search?

    In Firefox itself, I have configured duckduckgo as my default search provider.

    But when I use the host Firefox search button it is always defined on google and I don't see any possibility to change that?

    I love the Firefox Home button Search (or whatever we call it) otherwise, but it's annoying that it does not use the default Firefox.

    I use the Google Launcher now.

    Hi mrt181, it is planned to use the same search engine as in firefox - however, there is a bug at the moment, so it does not apply in all situations.
    usually, it will be enough to change the default engine in firefox back once to work around the problem in the search widget and get the same as set in the browser search provider.

  • Change the search engine to the url of the specific Web site

    I have the problem by changing the url of search engine for the url address bar and the search engine plugin. My version of Firefox is 35.

    Specifically, I want to use Google.co.uk for each search, but it goes to a country different from Google.

    I tried to change the subject: config-> keyword. URL: value: "https://www.google.co.uk/#q=", but it does not.

    I have tryied changing the search engine plugin, which does not work either.

    You need to install a search engine for your favorite country, then select this search engine in "Options/Preferences > Search" as the default search engine.

  • Help! I can't change the search engine for the Firefox widget on my home screen

    OK, so my engine failure to research on FF for Android is Duckduckgo. It is also the only one I have in my list of search engines in FF settings. I also use the search widget FF on my homescreen for quick search. It is and has always been, Duckduckgo. But, all of a sudden after the recent update (I use the FF, 36 beta something), for my search widget on my home screen, switched to Google search engine! I don't know why... I never use it. But this applies only to the search engine for the FF search on my home screen widget, not when I'm looking for something in FF itself. Does anyone else have this problem? Because I can't find a way to change the search engine in the FF widget... Looked everywhere in search widget settings and in FF itself. Thanks for the help of any body!

    I found a way to implement back to DuckDuckGo after a bit of fiddling with the default search engine in the browser.

    I think that the update should have overridden the setting somehow. What you need to do is to any other search engine default, then set DuckDuckGo returned as default. This will also update engine of the widget's default search.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I change the search engines if /searchreset does not work?

    I just upgraded to 23 FF, and it or some other setting changed my default Yahoo search engine. I want to go back to Google, which I think is the default value. Another thread of support was driven to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/, but that has not worked. I went in: config and Yahoo changed to Google on several lines, but it did nothing. I tried to change the searchreset.backup.keyword.URL and the keyword. URL, but they would not change the setting Yahoo.

    Not only is my default stuck with Yahoo, but even if I click on the arrow pointing downwards in the search box, I can not select a different search manually engine. The drop down menu shows me a list of search engines, but by selecting one of them has no effect. Help?

  • How to change the search string

    The problem that I face now is the following:
    If I use the search in the address bar, the search will be made automatically by google Hong Kong (Yes, I'm in China). But I don't want to. Or, I want to use the American or German Google. So I changed the subject: config the searchstring. But even if firefox uses the Google of Hong Kong.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks for your reply.
    What helped was:
    -change the location
    -clear history
    -Remove Google HK - Cookie.
    -block Google HK - Cookie.
    -re - define the location.
    Thank you very much!
