Can someone help with Google v Bing please? - Q&A Queen - 05-22-2014 08:06 PM
I use Google Chrome as my browser. Problem is that lately, every time I open up a new tab to do a search I get results using bing. It's not a setting I selected and I did not happen originally. Any thoughts on what happened or how to set it back. Please be specific. I'm not all up on setting changes and things.
Thank you!
Computer Technician: I'd give you 1000 points if I could. It worked. For more super duper bonus points.... how did that happen?

Sometimes when you install a new program it gives an option to using something as your default search engine. If you did not uncheck the box it will change the settings on your browser when your program installs. To fix this look at the top right hand corner of your browser window. Under the X, there should be 3 horizontal lines. If you click on those, you can see a list of options where one of them is settings. Click on that and you will see one of the options say: Set which search engine is used when searching from the omnibox. Make sure Google is selected and not Bing. Hope this helps.

Next step
1. Click on the wrench, or 3 little bars icon (upper right corner). Choose Settings.
2. At On start up: Open a specific page or set of pages.
3. Click Set pages. if your home page is not there. Type it in.
4. Next under Search in the same window, click on Manage search engines. Find The search pest and delete it. (Bing)
(Note) If the X don't show, then it's probably because it's selected as the default search engine. Hover over Google and click default to Make Google your default search engine.
then you can delete all the others. There are also other pest, and you can rid them the same way.
