Re: Search Button only allows MSN search

... I recently formatted and reinstalled the OS

Well, that'd do it! <w>

Ok, I fixed this by using the download from google to retore the defaults
with a registry edit. I can only assume something I downloaded changed the
registry values, and was hidden in something else. I recently formatted and
reinstalled the OS and some programs. Office XP pro, Adobe reader,
Quicktime, AVG anti virus and spyware, java runtime, windows defender,
direct x. I can only assume changing the default to msn search is hidden
in one of these, although I never saw it!

Thanks

1. Click "Search" in the IE menubar and choose "Customize" then select "Use
one search service" then select a search engine for the search window and
for the address bar.

2. See http://www.google.com/options/defaults.html

When I click on the search command button from the toolbar I used to get a
search pane, blue background, where I could set preferences for the search
engine used, which for me was Google. Now all I get is a MSN pane with no
ability to customize. How can I fix this. I am using IE 6.
