piaqt Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 from winguides;Change the Internet Explorer Search EngineGo to: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl]. Modify the value of default to equal the URL for the search engine you want to use, substituting '%s' to represent the keywords. For example, to use AltaVista the value would be:http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?q=%s And to use Yahoo! the value would be:http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=%s from my registry:Or for google: http://www.google.com/keyword/%sAlso, this key:(---cut & paste, save as .reg file----)Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Search Page"="http://www.google.com""AutoSearch"=dword:00000006"Search Bar"="http://www.google.com/ie"(----end cut & paste---)hope this helpsJust thought of something else.
