Re: Search Assistant Not Working Right

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Has anyone tried to find out from Microsoft if this is permanent or if they
are working on the issue. I see alot of posts on google saying it is caused
by many things with many suggestions as to why it is happening . everything
from spyware to system changes . My computer was turned off for 17 days
when I was on vacation and when I turned it on I saw the search had changed
.. . I would like to have the old search back or at least find out why it
changed so I can forget about trying to find a solution

Yes, Search Assistant has changed. No, we don't know how or why. (This may
have something to do with it:

doesn't seem to be a way of getting the old Search Assistant back.

I notice the Search Assistant isn't working right anymore. "Next" is now
greyed out and will only let me use one chosen search engine. This has
happened on my XP as well as my Win 2000 machine. What's wrong?
