How To Put Google Search Bar
Those app icons and moto clock, google search bar(known as widgets) all are removable, that means, you can remove/add based on your wish. Microsoft Edge - Google Search Bar Dear Community, I need some help, I have just rebuilt a notebook with Microsoft Windows Enterprise, I have changed the default search engine from Bing to Google in the advanced settings within Edge.
I am trying to add a Google search box to my own website. I would like it to search Google itself, not my site. There was some code I had that use to work, but no longer does:
When I try making a search, it just directs to the Google homepage. Well, actually it directs here: https://www.google.com/webhp
Does anyone have a different solution? What am I doing wrong?

Anyone know why?
