IE Search only has MSN available

dmeehan · 2003-04-07 13:54:17

not sure if this is the right thread, but here goes: I always use the address bar in IE for searching, rather than the search engines home page, but since I got a new pc with XP and IE6.0 i can only select MSN (boo!) to use as a search. I want to be able to use Google instead. Any ideas?

New versions of IE don't have it (that I can see).

Google Toolbar is by far the best.

Oh and in case anyone missed the news recently MS and Yahoo have both said they are treating google as a major rival in the search industry, so it should be intresting to see how MS can 'accidently' break Google so people use MSN instead.
