It's to do with your search provider. The browsers today have two search boxes, the one on the home page we use, in the middle of the screen usually, and the box we type the www address in. That is governed by a different setting than our home page. Depending on the browser you use it could be in plug ins, add ons or extensions and you'll be looking for search providers. When you find the place click on the one you want to use and a button that'll say set as default or something similar. I haven't got a computer at the moment as the damned thing died and I can't remember the actual pathway to it. Sorry about that.
