    FIX Error message Default search provider corrupted

    This is a Problem with the Software itself, remember its still in BETA. What I suggest is to try the following step, Some users have got themselves going by following these.

    NOTE :- These Steps may not work for all Windows, they is just a tweak , remember to backup your registry before attempting these steps.


    Make sure that you have taken Registry back before changing the value.
    1. Make sure IE 8 is closed then navigate to registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    2. Add a new “Expandable String value” inside the above mentioned key with a value name of “AppData” and a value data of “%USERPROFILE%\Application Data”.
    3. If you find LocalAppData in User Shell Folder just delete it.
    4. Reopen IE 8 and see if you still get the error
