Bing Suggestions do not work in the built-in guest user account

Article ID: 2448851 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

An error message similar to the following occurs when you type keywords into the Bing search toolbar in Internet Explorer, when Bing is set as the default search provider and the user is logged in as the built-in guest user account:



An error occurred.





CAUSE

Restrictions on the built-in guest user profile prevent the Bing search toolbar suggestions from displaying as expected.




RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, choose one of the following options:

1) If logged into the machine as the built-in guest user account, open Internet Explorer as an administrative user and then enter the search terms into the Bing search toolbar.

2) Do not use the built-in guest user profile. Instead, create a new profile, remove it from the users group and add it to the guests security group.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
