Just wondering, what's wrong with using bing as your search provider?
You can go to programs and features and remove the bing toolbar and still
use bing as your default search provider.
Personally I like it very much, it works great...

Hi Mike,
Why can't I just delete the Bin search bar from the add & remove?
Also, if you set Google to be your search provider in the internet options
you could avoid this problem.
In IE 11 I set google to be the search and I have no issues.

Hi All,
There has been a discussion on removing / turning off the BingBar & below
are some notes on changing your search provider that might help in stopping
Jaws from reporting BingBar or whatever it says when doing a search.
From: Roger Loran Bailey
Because of this thread and Gene's comments I just did something that I did
not know how to do and didn't even know that I wanted to do until now. I
changed my own default search engine in Internet Explorer to Google. My
default search engine has been Bing ever since I got this Windows 7
computer, but I prefer Google. I handled the problem by just ignoring Bing
and making Google my home page. Because of this discussion I decided to
check to see if I could change the default search. I went to tools and then
to manage add ons. I then arrowed down until I saw search engines. I tabbed
and found Bing checked as default.
By arrowing up and down I saw that there were other search engines and
Google was not one of them. So I continued to tab until I found a link
labeled "search for other search engines." I clicked that link and came to a
Microsoft page about add ons and at first I didn't think it had anything to
do with search engines, but down the page there was a link to search engines
which I clicked. I then got a list of search results and again Google was
not one of them.
Apparently Microsoft wants to make it hard for you to use Google. In
exasperation I pressed the E key to go to the only edit field on the page
and typed in Google. Again I got a list of search results, but this time the
first one on the list was Google search. There was a link right after it for
adding it to Internet Explorer. I clicked it again and there was a page
listing some things about Google. By this time I was getting tired of the
hoops I was jumping through, so I didn't read that material very closely and
now I can't really tell you what it said, but at the very bottom there was
another link offering to add Google to Internet Explorer. I clicked it again
and a dialog came up. Tabbing through it there were several check boxes to
either check or not to check and one of them was to make Google my default
search engine.
I did check that and went through the rest of the dialog and click finish or
save or whatever it said at the end. I then just closed the browser and
opened it up again. I don't know if that was necessary, but that is how I
did it. Then I check by pressing f6 for the address bar and, indeed, it
showed Google. I typed in a word off the top of my head and pressed enter
and I got a list of Google search results. So there is how to make Google
your default search engine in Internet Explorer. I would have done this a
long time ago if I had thought of it or even known where to look.

Does anyone know how to change my search engine from Bing to Google in IE
10?

Go to the Internet Explorer Gallery
http://www.iegallery.com/en-us/addons?callback=true&featuretype=2
and add a new search provider like Google for example. There's a link
labeled "Add to Internet Explorer" on the page after you select a search
provider. When you click on this link, check the "Make this my default
search provider" checkbox.

Yes--if you hit ALT+T for the Tools menu while in IE 10 and choose "Manage
add-ons", you'll find a radio button for Search Providers.
Select this radio button and then TAB until you hear "find more search
providers". Activate this link and you'll be taken to the Internet Explorer
gallery where you can find and add other search providers to IE including
Google. To add the Google search provider, activate the Google link to bring
up the information page and then choose Add to internet explorer. You'll be
prompted as to whether you want to make this the default search provider.

Take care.
