213283 2004-02-06 09:53:00 when i enter something to search in my address bar, it used to go straight to results via google (default search engine)

but tonight all of a sudden tis been doing this...

i typed msn messenger to search (for a example)
and this is what happens...
http:///?%20msn%20messenger <<it does that in address bar instead of going to www.google.co.nz with the results...

213284 2004-02-06 09:57:00 Well for starters, what browser are you using?

Try checking your IE settings if you're using IE, tell it to "just display results in the window".

213287 2004-02-06 10:05:00 Tools > Internet Options, should be on the Advanced tab (or last tab, can't remember), scroll down and look for a section for Search options. agent (30)

213289 2004-02-06 11:23:00 the default search engine for IE is normally msn not google. personally i would turn off searching from the address bar and use google toolbar. tweak'e (174)
213290 2004-02-06 11:25:00 but i've been using my method for a year and its all of a sudden happening tonight?

but if you recommend the google toolbar..where do i get it from?

cheers

213291 2004-02-06 11:36:00 Google, where else.

Chris, if all else fails, try:
google toolbar download
Into Google.

The pop-up stopper in it works very well.
