My bing search, on my samsung galaxy tablet, will not open suggested search info. I have made sure the tablet is updated and I have cleared unnecessary files.

    If Bing was set as the default browser, that strongly points to a corrupted app or browser-handling issue on Android. The quickest fix is to remove Bing as the default, then reset it cleanly. Go to Settings > Apps > Bing > Set as default and tap Clear defaults. After that, force stop Bing, clear its cache and data, then restart the tablet. Once it boots back up, open Bing and set it as the default browser again. This often restores broken link handling on Samsung devices.

    If the problem continues, I recommend uninstalling Bing updates or reinstalling the app completely from the Play Store, then testing before setting it as default again. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-bing-help-82d20721-2d6f-4012-a13d-d1910ccf203f.

    One last thing that helps in many cases is checking Settings > Apps > Default apps > Browser app and confirming only one browser is assigned. Conflicts can stop links from opening entirely.

    On a Samsung Galaxy tablet, this issue is usually related to the Bing app, the browser being used, or cached data at the app level. If you are using the Bing app, please try clearing the app cache and data from Settings > Apps > Bing > Storage, then restart the tablet. If you are using Samsung Internet or another browser, make sure it is fully updated and try disabling any content blockers or extensions, as these can prevent suggested results from opening. You can also try setting a different browser as default temporarily to test.

    To narrow this down, are you seeing this problem only in the Bing app, or also when using Bing in a web browser like Samsung Internet or Chrome? Also, does tapping suggested results do nothing at all, or does it briefly load and then close?

    If your Bing search on your Samsung Galaxy tablet is not opening suggested search information, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

    1. Restart the Device: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary glitches.
    2. Check for App Updates: Ensure that the Bing app is updated to the latest version. You can do this through the Google Play Store.
    3. Clear App Cache: Go to Settings > Apps > Bing > Storage, and then clear the cache. This can help resolve issues related to stored data.
    4. Reinstall the App: If the problem persists, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling the Bing app.
    5. Check Permissions: Make sure that the Bing app has the necessary permissions to access the internet and other features.
    6. Network Connection: Ensure that your tablet is connected to the internet, as a weak or unstable connection can affect search functionality.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to check for any known issues with Bing on Android devices or reach out to Microsoft support for further assistance.
