Hey there,
I recently changed my iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Since then, the search engine suggestions in my Safari search bar no longer work. The function is turned on in my settings. However, it doesn´t work with any of the search engines available. I this is a iOS8 bug? I can´t really find anything about it online though so I am wondering if I am doing something wrong.
Thanks for any advice!
iPhone 5, iOS 8
Yea, I'm having this problem as well and it drives me crazy.
I had the same problem on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. To troubleshoot I did a restore to iOS 8 without restoring my backup and search suggestions worked. I then cleared all settings and restored my last backup and again on iOS 8 the search suggestions were not working.
It was then that I realized what the problem was. I was in a Private browsing session. Just close all your open Safari tabs (windows) and then click the new Tab option. If Private has a white box around it then you are in a private session. Just tap on private to remove the box and return to a regular session and search suggestions hopefully will start working for you.
Wow...that was the problem.
iOSSOi I had the same problem. You just need to clear all history and website data. That fixes all. 😉
