Google Search App wont connect to internet.

[joddle]

Having had my trusty little surface RT for a few years now for use when travelling I was horrified yesterday when the Google Search app stopped working properly. Every time I do a search it pauses then comes up with a message saying "Unable to connect to the internet". However everything else is connecting fine. If I use the google from IE it works fine. I have rebooted, reinstalled the app but it makes no difference. After years of working well why should this now suddenly stop? Any help on this appreciated

Sorry joddle I have no experience with these tablets. (I'm an android man :) )

Hopefully someone else will be able to help you.

Hello Joddle...

 

The easy way out is to delete/uninstall the app.reboot the tablet.

 

Then reinstall the app,reboot then try connecting again.

 

Let me know how that goes.

Tried that two or three times - no good - surprising thing is when using a different wi fi network it started to work fine again - although it was working on the old one before but now I am not there so cant retest - one of life's little oddities I suppose!.
