Re: Search Assistant Not Working Right

Hi Jan - Did you try my .reg file on this?


Download and run:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/RestoreSearch2.REG to restore
your default Search functionality and reset your prefixes. You'll have to
manually re-select any Search Customizations you may have had, however.

As of this time, the Search has changed back to it was earlier this
morning.
None of the Customize settings will work, and everything just hangs up
again.

Hope this helps.

They just now changed here, or at least within the last hour. I see the
same search list I did a few days ago when I first checked it due to
Anna's post. It then changed the Customize to only two selections,
Search
Assistant and Use one search service. No list boxes, and when I tried to
select one of the choices, they would not work. When I clicked OK, it
just brought the search list up again, and all that was in it was the
search window and the GO button.

Now, I see the same Search window in the panel, but, the Customize is as
it was before.

Hope this helps.

Why? I have no idea.

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

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