Title: NGC - When Google quits Googlin'
Post by: ohiorider on October 29, 2015, 04:33:38 PM: Re the Google search feature. For some reason, Google, running on my Win7 desktop, will not perform a search function. I can type in a word or words, Google may or may not offer suggestions. When I click on a suggestion or simply click on the 'search' icon ...... nothing.

My Win8 laptop, on the other hand, googles like it always has. Search works on it.

Any thoughts?

Post by: BMWDavid on October 29, 2015, 05:02:24 PM: I'm having the same trouble...I have to close the first Google search and enter it a second time for it to go through. First noticed this problem Wednesday (10/28) evening.

Obviously, it isn't just my problem. One solution on this link Bill H supplied follows, and it works. Not sure how I replace 'new' Goodle with 'old' Google, but it does allow me to use Google search function.
