I have Copernic search engine on my taskbar (the bottom middle of my screen to the right of the quick launches). Before getting it I used to have a space that would act as a google search. Copernic is now taking up that space. How can I keep Copernic and get that search space back

Go to Copernic options, select the Integration tab, then uncheck Display Copernic Desktop Search Deskbar bar on the Windows taskbar.
