So nobody @ MSFT has access to Google.com before shipping off the product. Given that a typical engineer is so addicted to 'googling' all through the day, this would've been noticed.
- AaronFriel 13y ago(Strike this, see note below) This problem just started in the last 24 hours - Google rendered fine and was my default search engine for over a month running the 8.1 RTM, and for a few months before that running the 8.1 Preview. This isn't MSFT's fuck up unless Google is doing feature detection and IE11 is presenting itself as not supporting some trivial HTML5 feature. Edit: I stand corrected - it looks like something MSFT pushed out as a compatibility list update around the general availability of 8.1 is causing this.
- AaronFriel 13y agoEdit2: I'm not convinced of the above anymore. It doesn't look like the IE compat list is abnormal, but it could be a fluke interaction between Google and IE11. On the other hand, it's very strange that it suddenly occurred in the past day, when I've been running 8.1 release for over a month.
- reybango 13y agoIt's also possible that Google made a change to their SERPs that didn't go nicely with the docmode IE11 is rendering it in.
- temo4ka 13y agoWho says they use IE for googling? :-)
- enscr 13y agoI've tried switching to Bing (kinda forced on a Lumia) and also sometimes when I can't find what I'm looking for with google. Without fail I've found myself switching back from Bing almost instantly even if I'm stuck with IE.
- yulaow 13y agoYou probably are in the US. Outside that, bing just cannot find anything. Anyway i also have a lumia but I set google as search engine in ie mobile
