More Information

After you install cumulative security update 2969262 , search suggestions from the default search provider are enabled on the address bar in Internet Explorer. However, search suggestions are not enabled in this situation if you disabled them earlier. Search suggestions help you type less when you search from the address bar, and they also help you form better search queries that lead to better search results and faster task completion.
