AVG Secure Browser has broken windows search

Installed AVG Secure browser by accident when installing Filezilla

AVG Secure browser would not uninstall using windows Programs and Features

AVG Secure browser would not uninstall unsing AVGH's own avg_secure_browser_uninstall.exe application

Followed the instructions here, and managed to remove the files: https://support.avg.com/answers?id=9060N000000gDgIQAU

HOWEVER:

Now I can no longer search in windows. I can't use the search function in my browser window, or the windows search in the task bar. 

This is a massive inconvenience at a time when I can't afford to mess around trying to fix my computer. I have work to do, and I am struggling without a search function. 

Please help.
