Do you mean in general on your browser or do you mean with this forum?

Have you tried clearing the history and cookies from your browser?

Have you tried a different browser?

Google Search on BT Homepage

When I am on BT homepage and searching for something on Google search it fails to find anything including BT's own site. Been like that for a few days.

If this is search.bt.com I don't think this is being maintained anymore.

The old home.bt.com news section also isn't being maintained anymore.

Having been on the link I take it that Google Search on BT Homepage is no longer available. It would have been nice to have been informed.

Interesting situation. When it comes back as "We cannot find etc" just above it is The Web and Search BT boxes. Click on Search BT and it comes up with what you are looking for yet won't from the BT Homepage. Evidently Google hasn't a problem so don't know.

Yes I don't think that page is being maintained anymore.

Best to use your favourite search engine's official website such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo....

Search function not working

arabella — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 09:47:29 GMT

I am unable to search on my bt website using chrome. I have uninstalled chrome and reinstalled but still the same. I have also tried different browsers but still doesn't work.

I think everyone we can safely assume BT are no longer supporting a search engine. The BT page is only fit for accessing your BT account and e-mail.

search the web fields (enhanced by Google) on Log on email page no longer working

KDM — Sat, 18 Sep 2021 17:31:46 GMT

When trying to use the "Search the Web" fields (enhanced by Google) on pages such as the Email Logon page no longer works and returns no results from the web.

Have BT no longer got Google support for web search.

Interestingly the site is still live if you type in the direct link. They have probably removed references and links to it from elsewhere though. I'm just guessing here.
