Nokia N8-Cannot use any search engines Google/Bing

Internet connection via 3G and WLAN is fine.
'Go to new web page' option also works if you enter web address direct.
BUT when searching via Google, Bing, BBC or any other search engine no search results come up and phone defaults back to original home page.
Any ideas please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In browser search for Google Search, when the page loads, choose the Google home page, once open, touch the arrow in bottom right corner of screen and select options>settings>general>home page>set to current page, Google will then open whenever you open the Browser

  • Cannot use any search engine

    No matter what search engine I try to use it will not work. Google and Bing will not even load. It keeps giving me an error message. I have IE too, but I have the same problem. I reset my browser settings in IE and it did not fix the problem. I really need to fix this. I can get yahoo and msn up...but when I type into the search field, I get an error message again. Problem loading page. What gives?

  • Firefox hangs when going on any search engine (Google, Bing &c.)

    Whenever I go on Google, Bing or any other big search engine, Firefox beta 4.11 freezes.

    Mine has been fixed by disabling McAfee SiteAdvisor.

  • Why does the message '500 internal server error' appear when I use any search engine?

    I am able to type a web address and use the internet successfully but when using ANY search engine I get the '500 internal server error' message. This appears if I type in a word to search '''bold text'''and the result is the error message. I have recently uninstalled rapport and hitman pro. Please help.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    Which security software (firewall) do you have?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    See:
    * [[Server not found]]
    * [[Firewalls]]

  • Cant use any search engines bing , google,as soon I type a search Firefox 4 hangs

    my firefox4 hangs as soon I try to load an search engines, Bling or google,cant copy URL as all freezes

    I just upgraded to FF4 and I also find it hangs when I use any of the search engines. The Task Manager shows Firefox is grabbing more and more memory and is showing the "not responding" message. In Firefox the cursor wheel just spins and spins.
    I restarted FF using the "without add-ons" option and everything worked fine!
    How do I find out what add-ons I have installed? Presumably one of them is causing a problem.

  • Why, when using a search engine i.e. Google or Bing does Firefox 'hang' and not allow any input

    When I use a search engine i.e. Google or Bing, the site and Firefox crashes or 'hangs' and does not allow any action to be taken. Even if the window has been closed, Firefox continues to run but cannot be seen by 'Task Manager' resulting in me having to restart my Laptop in order to use Firefox again.
    Note: This only happens with Firefox, other browsers work fine with these sites.

    I have had the same problem with google search engines and i found that if i disable the safe browsing plugin from bullguard that will cure the problem

  • When i use a search engine like google, yahoo, etc., when I click on the link I am immediately redirected to a different site. How to I prevent this?

    when i use a search engine like google, yahoo, etc., when I click on the link, I am immediately redirected to another site. Many times I must hit "back", and click on the link again. Sometimes I am redirected again to another and different site. If I go back again and re-click, it will then take me to the link that is listed.

  • Safari Version 6.0.2 (7536.26.17)  Yahoo security - Using Yahoo search engine: while logged into Yahoo my entire screen gets taken over by a full page popup add/i've cleared histories

    Safari Version 6.0.2 (7536.26.17)
    I believe my problems stem from the public side of Yahoo where I go to open my Yahoo Email account, and/or from the file I get in
    email.
    Yahoo security - Using Yahoo search engine: while logged into Yahoo my entire screen gets taken over by a full page popup add/i've cleared histories & cookies & flash cookies but the problem returns, sometimes right away, sometime on the next log on … what to do … . I’ve heard of this problem being called a form of ‘yahoo mail hijacking’.
    Yahoo is better than Google right now. While using Google as a search engine and logged into Yahoo-mail the page elevator (up& down) bar actually freezes, a dead giveaway that something is up. So far nothing I do will stop the page elevator from freezing when I'm using the Google search engine. I either have to use the Yahoo or Bing search engines.
    MacPro w/OS X ver 10.7.5 & Norton Internet Security 5 for Mac ver 12.4 (73) /  I update Norton security at least 3-times a day. I thing I get the bug when I log onto my Yahoo Email and go through my emails. When problems get constant I Reset Safari then run flush to burn flash cookies. What else can I do?
    Yahoo wanted $58-bucks for a consult, that’s ********. You would think Yahoo would want to be advised of ongoing Yahoo Searchengine / Yahoo Email problems, and want to help there users with ongoing problems. Sure they will help me with their problem for $58, and probably even suggest even less than what I am already doing on my own.

    It's hard to tell from your description what is going on, but try this first.
    Quit Safari. If it won't quit in the usual way, select
     ▹ Force Quit...
    from the menu bar, then select Safari from the list and press return.
    Relaunch Safari by holding down the shift  key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the bad page from reloading automatically. From the menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove all website data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
    Also get rid of the useless Norton crapware, after backing up all data.
    Uninstalling your Norton product for Mac
