    IE 11 displays "Get to Google faster. Update"... WHEN instant DISABLED


    hi guys, posted this somewhere else already but wanted to hear your opinion here as well, here's all the steps:

    What steps will reproduce the problem?

    1. Use IE11 - IE 10
    2. Disable Instant
    3. Search anything on google.com, co.uk, .it etc and then hit F5

    What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

    Normal loading page, instead I see at the top

    "Get to Google faster. Update your default search engine.
    Sure

    No thanks" for a split second


    What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
    IE 11, Win 7 64x


    What is the url of the corresponding thread at Google Groups?
    https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/websearch/6kOZZwZA2dY

    the title has a small typo, it should be "WHEN instant disabled", I provided some caps there.

    What is your support ticket from Google support?
    n/a

    Please provide any additional information below.

    I just tested something else, I tried to change User Agent String in IE11's developer tools to mimic as Chrome or Firefox, and it works fine!
    some bug with IE's user agent and Google I guess.

    any IE (10,9 etc) instead does the error.

    I briefly see what you show in your attached screenshot using IE11 on W7 pro 64bit, but only if I disable "64bit tabs".

    Internet Explorer 10 - Enable 32-bit or 64-bit IE10 in Windows 7
    (The tut applies to IE11 too.)

    You should be using "64bit tabs"...
    ...so, you should not be seeing this issue

    hi

    I just checked, I don't have this option that I show, which is the one you refer to I believe..check screencap - and protected mode is enabled from the Security page too.

    I am on a different PC right now, same os win 7 and IE11, same thing happens. Weird.

    Hi,
    I'm assuming when you say disable "instant" your referring to Google instant search results in Google search settings ?
    Cure might be to Sign out of Google :/

    The popup is pretty normal it used to say upgrade your browser to chrome .....

    So why do you not like instant search results it's default ?

    >> tried that already, not working.

    >> I just don't like it to pre-load stuff, but after the first time, you say "NO" (and it saves the cookie), then it stays somewhere in the code when you search anything or refresh. oh well I use DDG but still, seems to be a bug.

    On Firefox works OK, same on Chrome, obviously.

    Hi,
    As far as I've noticed it's just an annoying drop down message that's been there since Chrome was released
    It's just changed instead of update your browser to Chrome it wants you to download google search or google toolbar :/

    Unless your signed in the settings change amounts to nothing because I doubt the setting will stick

    The screenshot that shows an options named:
    "Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode" is probably from an W8 or W10 OS.

    IE10/IE11 on W7-32bit will not have the option named:
    "Enable Enhanced Protection Mode"
    IE10/IE11 on W7-64bit should have that "E.P.M." option.


    Like you mentioned, Google is depending upon the user agent string (at least in part) to decide when to show that info. The fact that it flashes by is clearly a mistake on Google's part. Google probably never meant for the info to show at all to IE10/IE11 users. Google might get around to fixing the issue. Or... maybe not.

    it's actually there, doesn't matter whether or not I am signed in. Only happens when INSTANT is disabled, as I said earlier and when user agent is IE11,10,9 etc

    thanks - I tried it...didn't work... oh well, moving on, at least is not just me!

    For what it is worth, I see the info when Google's instant search feature is on or off.
