Why do I get redirected to Google immediately after I type a link in the search bar?

try opening the search engine first (explorer--firefox--google chrome)- google then type in roblox. I have no problem

If you are simply using Google Chrome, the easiest way is to go to where it says "Search". Next to it there should be a drop down box. Click on Google.

If you are using other browsers and have other issues, the following may help.

If Firefox, try clicking on Get started on the following page:

It also depends whether your present start page has come about because of some tool bar or ad-in you have installed. If the later is the case, you may have to uninstall that toolbar. Some toolbars are so persistent that changing gets tedious. If the process gets really painful, consider the possibility of going back to a system restore point set before you made the change. (You would have to reinstall software installed after that restore point.)

For the more adventurous, you could manually change a lot of settings particular to which browser you are using and what ad-ins are in play. Try googling "change my search to Google in "fill in the blank" browser.
