Default Search Provider - Bing Only?

Hi, I have just bought a Nokia 701 and updated the firmware to 112.010.1404 but in the Nokia Web browser (v8.2.1.20) I have noticed that the only search provider is Bing? I would like to set my default to Google but there does not seem to be a way of adding this? Has anyone else noticed this and is there a way of adding other search providers?

Hi smjohns,
The available default search providers vary by region. I tested this on the device and was able to find a couple of regions with no default search providers at all and some with other providers, but no Google. This may be a sign that Google has not yet been added to the list of possible providers. 
As there may be a plethora of reasons for this, and I do not want to speculate, I am going to send this forward to our technical team and will let you know when we get more information.

  • DNS UDP Delay - seems to be caused by default search provider

    I am having trouble with my local network and UDP connections. there seems to be a 12 second delay when sending UDP connection requests. I used wireshark to spot the issues, and the results pointed toward the DNS server trying to resolve local IPs with bing.com.
    I cannot seem to remove the default search provider and I do not see why it is trying to check with bing.com to get the mac address of a local IP. The ports have been added as a rule in the firewall to allow. And when using arp in the command prompt it resolves
    the mac address and replies back with it in a matter of milliseconds. So I can not figure out why when I send a UDP connection from an ASP page to another computer on the network it seems to try and ask bing.com where it can find the mac address for that IP.
    Does anyone know what might be causing this? I re-installed server 2008 many times and also windows 7 on the client machines and still the same results and the same delay duration.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am not getting what you mean.
    " I used wireshark to spot the issues, and the results pointed toward the DNS server trying to resolve local IPs with bing.com"
    Do you mean that DNS requests sent to bing servers?
    "I cannot seem to remove the default search provider and I do not see why it is
    trying to check with bing.com to get the mac address of a local IP"
    I am not getting also how a system sends a request to bing.com asking for ARP resolution. ARP is a layer 2 protocol and is mainly based on broadcasts and communications with your switches. It is not possible that ARP requests go to internet.
    "So I can not figure out why when I send a UDP connection from an ASP page to
    another computer on the network it seems to try and ask bing.com where it can find the mac address for that IP."
    That would be great that you share the logs you have so that we can have a better visibility.
    If you are using an AD domain then I would recommend that you follow the IP settings and DNS recommendations I shared in this Wiki: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18513.active-directory-replication-issues-basic-troubleshooting-steps-single-ad-domain-in-a-single-ad-forest.aspx
    That should help in fixing known issues with DNS resolution.

  • Unable to remove Default Search Provider in the Web Browser

    Hi Pros !!!
    My Default search provider is automatically updated by VenteeRo Search Provider. When I try to move it it is giving me the following error : 
    Please find the following image.

    This is normal behavior and you could not delete the default search provider. To resolve this problem, add another search provider and make it default, for example you could add Bing as your default search:
    http://www.iegallery.com/Addons/Details/16523
    When you click add, make sure to set it as default search engine and then open Manage Add-ons again and then delete the current search provider.

  • KB2988414 and default search provider via INSTALL.INS

    I use Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to preset search providers.
    IEAK lets you nominate the default search provider (the one I have preset isn't Bing).
    This creates [SearchProviders] in an INSTALL.INS file.  You can transfer this to
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\SIGNUP\install.ins
    Before installing KB2988414, this process "just works".
    After installing KB2988414, when you logon with a new profile, which triggers the Internet Explorer new profile process, Internet Explorer shows
    An unknown program would like to change your default search provider to "[provider]"
    However, this is a legitimate, Microsoft-provided process, not malicious software.
    If I remove the following parameter from the [SearchProviders] block, then I no longer get the message, but the search provider defaults to Bing.
    Default1=1
    I believe this is a defect.
    Kind regards,
    Anwar

    Hi,
    In order to assist you, we will need the .DMP files to analyze what exactly occurred at the time of the crash, etc.
    If you don't know where .DMP files are located, here's how to get to them:
    1. Navigate to the %systemroot%\Minidump folder.
    2. Copy any and all DMP files in the Minidump folder to your Desktop and then zip up these files.
    3. Upload the zip containing the .DMP files to Onedrive or a hosting site of your choice and paste in your reply. Prefered sites: Onedrive, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc. Nothing with wait-timers.
    4 (optional): The type of .DMP files located in the Minidump folder are known as Small Memory Dumps. In %systemroot% there will be what is known as a Kernel-Dump (if your system is set to generate). It is labeled MEMORY.DMP. The difference
    between Small Memory Dumps and Kernel-Dumps in the simplest definition is a Kernel-Dump contains
    much more information at the time of the crash, therefore allowing further debugging of your issue. If your upload speed permits it, and you aren't going against any strict bandwidth and/or usage caps, etc, the Kernel-Dump is the best
    choice. Do note that Kernel-Dumps are much larger in size due to containing much more info, which is why I mentioned upload speed, etc.
    If you are going to use Onedrive but don't know how to upload to it, please visit the following:
    Upload photos and files to Onedrive.
    Please note that any "cleaner" programs such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc, by default will delete .DMP files upon use.
    If your computer is not generating .DMP files, please do the following:
    1. Start > type %systemroot% which should show the Windows folder, click on it. Once inside that folder, ensure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a New Folder and name it Minidump.
    2. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Ensure there's a check-mark for 'Automatically manage paging file size for all
    drives'.
    3. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings > System Failure > ensure there is a check mark next to 'Write an event to the system
    log'.
    Ensure Small Memory Dump is selected and ensure the path is %systemroot%\Minidump.
    4. Double check that the WERS is ENABLED:
    Start > Search > type services.msc > Under the name tab, find Windows Error Reporting Service > If the status of the service is not Started then right click it and select Start. Also ensure that under Startup Type it is set to Automatic rather than
    Manual. You can do this by right clicking it, selecting properties, and under General selecting startup type to 'Automatic', and then click Apply.
    If you cannot get into normal mode to do any of this, please do this via Safe Mode.

  • Windows 8.1 not letting me change my default search provider

    I recently upgraded my PC to Windows 8.1 and I am trying to set Google as my default search engine in Internet Explorer. I’ve worked through the process of changing this to Google but it’s not
    working. I click the ‘add to internet explorer’ button and nothing happens, I got someone to test on a Windows 7 PC and they get a pop-up saying ‘Do you want to add this search provider?’ However on my Windows 8.1 machine this pop-up doesn’t appear.

    Hi,
    After you get to the “Manage add-ons” item, you can add more search provider in the following way:
    1. Go to Search Provider, and then at the bottom part, click “Find more search providers…” just like the screenshot below:
    2. Find the Google provider and choose the one, you can set it as a default by clicking at the right corner of the pane as the screenshot below:

  • Windows 8.1 Update always sets Bing as Search Provider (IEAK doesn´t tell it to)

    Hello,
    I´m building a Windows 8.1 (with Update 1)-Image for my Company and want to customize IE11. Everything works fine, beside two things:
    1. In my IEAK-Package I add Google as search provider and set it to default. The IE-branding-package is applied during the building of the image. But when I log in the first time, IE comes up with Bing as default and Google as additional search provider.
    First I thought this has anything to do with SCCM installing the branding pack as LocalSystem during the task sequence, but with some testing, I found out, that Win 8.1 Update 1 (KB2919355) was my Problem! If I install my branding package to Windows 8.1 (without
    Update 1), Google is set as default search provider for accounts that already exist and for new accounts. When Update 1 is applied and my Branding pack runs after that, Google is set as default search provider for existing accounts only, but not for new accounts,
    they get Bing! It doesn´t matter if I do that as LocalSystem within a task sequence or as local admin, with Update 1 - Bing, without - Google! I also tried to set the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\DefaultScope-value in the "Default
    User" and imported the {xxxx...xxxxx}-Search Provider-Value for Google, but this seems to be overwritten by some first logon command. Is there any Win 8.1 or IEAK-Hotfix to correct this behaviour?
    2. This one is AFAIK in every IEAK since IE8, but it´s annoying anyway: you select that no MS Defaults should be added, and that only items created by the Administrator should be deleted, in the "Browsing Options" of IEAK but (in
    the case of IE11) this one "Bing"-favorite resides there and says "Hello!" to every new user.
    Problem 1 is the bigger one, but I´m glad about every kind of help and every answer!
    Kind Regards, Chris

    So it did.  The settings are being customized by "ie4uinit.exe -UserConfig" during Active Setup for each new user.  I could not find where it was picking up its orders, otherwise I would have edited the ieuinit.inf or registry or xml
    file rather than attempt to undo the damage using the below method.  Documentation on ie4uinit.exe was nonexistent or hidden, and I didn't have the patience to keep filtering and trawling through 7000 reg entries to find the source of the problem.
    As a test, disabling / renaming / removing the "stubpath" fixed the problem, but also vanished the Metro IE icon.  I didn't pursue this further to see if this was a simple fix, choosing instead to make things a little more complicated:
    During the deployment task sequence, I create another registry key under "Installed Components" in Active Setup.  I don't know if there's a way to control the order of execution, but I think I got lucky enough that my stuff executes after
    the other commands per user.
    Task script (during deployment):
    REM Prep for active setup to undo 8.1 Update 1 Bing evilness
    MD c:\temp\bingremove
    XCOPY hklm_scope.reg c:\temp\bingremove
    XCOPY hkcu_scope_current.reg c:\temp\bingremove
    XCOPY RedoSearchScopes.cmd c:\temp\bingremove
    REG.EXE import RedoSearchScopes.reg
    RedoSearchScopes.reg
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\RedoSearchScopes]
    @="Redo IE Search"
    "IsInstalled"=dword:00000001
    "ComponentID"="REDOBING"
    "StubPath"="C:\\temp\\bingremove\\RedoSearchScopes.cmd"
    RedoSearchScopes.cmd
    REM Clear & Add search links
    REG.EXE delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes" /f
    REG.EXE delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes" /f
    REG.EXE import c:\temp\bingremove\hklm_scope.reg
    REG.EXE import c:\temp\bingremove\hkcu_scope_current.reg
    del /f /q %USERPROFILE%\Favorites\Bing.url
    del /f /q %USERPROFILE%\..\Default\Favorites\Bing.url
    hklm_scope and hkcu_scope_current are exports of searchscopes that I'm reasonably happy with.  Except after
    KB2988414, my users are prompted to approve my change away from the default of Bing, only once.  So MS wins again, unless I go uninstall that update and block it - except it was part of a cumulative rollup!
    Anyway, I don't even care that much about which search engine goes, but search suggestions were ON by default, which is a big nono when dealing with sensitive work.  Search suggestions mean that all text in a browser address bar is logged and stored
    by the search company.
    A creative workaround I hadn't thought of was to keep the Bing GUID and change all the values underneath to your search engine of choice:
    http://www.laurierhodes.info/?q=node/81
    I was considering this, but it still feels a bit hacky, and I'm sure it would only be a matter of time before something breaks it.
    Oh, well.  Not the ideal solution, and I resent beyond words the inability to set something from an administrator's task and then have the OS second-guess me and undo my changes via an update meant to give more control to users who could not care less
    about these "enable" or "approve" prompts.
    Thanks for the tip, R.A.

  • Firefox keeps changing my default search engine to Bing. I've changed it back 20 times already. Enough is enough.

    Ever since the deal went down when Firefox changed its default provider from Google, I have had to reset my default search engine back from Bing at least every other day, if not more frequent. It is maddening. It doesn't just happen on one machine either, it's happening on all of mine.
    I do have Firefox sync enabled with preference sync, so is it possible Firefox sync is getting out of sync? IE every time I change it on a machine, it misses a browser, and then the browser that doesn't get changed goes out and changes all the rest back in the next sync? That's the only thing I can think of, other than Mozilla selling their souls and values and forcing Firefox users to use a search engine they hate.
    If the latter is the case, I have had enough and am switching to Chrome. I can't handle having to change my default search engine back every other day. Please someone tell me there is an explanation and a fix. Thanks.

    Alright, I feel like an idiot. It was from an extension I installed called InvisibleHand that I installed right around the time the Google deal with Mozilla expired, which is why I assumed the problem was a result of that.
    I just checked the settings of the extension and sure enough it has an option that gets ticked by default called "InvisibleHand Search (Use InvisibleHand (powered by Bing) as my default search provider)". So I jumped the gun and blamed Firefox, my apologies.
    The extension automatically shows you if an item is cheaper elsewhere while online shopping which is useful, however having that setting ticked by default is pretty skeevy.
    Anyway, thanks for the response and sorry I blamed Firefox :P

  • No option to set search provider after updating Lu...

    Hi there, I have updated my Lumia to Win 7.8 and I have all new features but one is missing; option to set google as search provider in Internet explorer. I can't restore my phone to try install upate once again due to an error 801812E0. Any idea how to get Internet Explorer sorted?

    For WP8, it should be available under IE, settings>Advance settings> Default search provider. Don't know you have the same options. Best to check with the guys who just updated their phone to 7.8. Meanwhile, for the error code 801812E0:
    The reason for this error is that a previously installed software update is no longer compatible with your phone. In order to keep your phone working correctly, the restore function was disabled.

  • When connected to my wi fi firefix mobile default searches with verizon search instead if google.

    this just started happening today.

    Hi Jester1111
    Sorry to hear about this problem.
    Firefox for Android doesn't just switch search providers arbitrarily.
    Two guesses:
    1) You accidentally or somehow forgot that you installed an add-on that does search on Verizon by default.
    * In the Firefox for Android menu: check Tools | Add-ons and make sure you don't have a Firefox for Android add-on that makes Verizon your search provider or that Verizon is your default search provider.
    * If you do have an add-on related to Verizon, disable it
    * If somehow Verizon became a search provider, long tap on Verizonand tap "Disable"
    2) Verizon did something strange. Not sure what they could do and how to cope with it but it's a possibility that your ISP (which I guess is Verizon) can do weird things when connected to the ISP's WiFi.
    Followup questions:
    * What Android device are you using?
    * What version of Android are you using?
