  • I'm wondering if the OP means the search box in Windows 10, which is on the taskbar?

    So Bing reinstalled and FF won't let you use any other search engine?
    Makes no sense, but, we'll see if we can figure it out.
    If you type a search in the search box and you get the drop down to choose where you search, can you click on google there and get it's search results?
    Yes, done that but it still goes to "Bing"!

    AFAIK you can no longer change the search engine in W10 itself.

    Just turn it off if you don't wish to search the web using that search box.

    Why are using that to search the web? Searching via the browser would solve your problem....
