Not really. I do understand about Google. I despise the way they act. FWIW I strip Google from my windows machines to the extent my knowledge allows. If I knew how I would strip Google from my apple machines. Presently I just don’t use it and my ipad seems to work well enough. Have a good weekend kiddo.
On your iPad, go to the “Preferences” app, go down the list on the left side and choose “Safari”. Then you’ll see at the top middle to right side, “Search Engine”. Choose that and you’ll get some choices. Choose something other than Google.
Once you choose something other than Google, it won’t be used any longer. I’ve heard that some people like “DuckDuckGo”.
I’m giving you instructions related to iOS 8.3. If you have the first model of iPad you will not be able to load iOS 8.3.
