| 13886 | 2001-06-09 22:08:00 | Is it possible to customise the search button to go straight to Google.com. I tried customising it but there is nowhere to insert web address | Guest (0) | ||
| 13887 | 2001-06-09 23:24:00 | I've not used the 'search button' before but here's how to put a link to Google (or any frequently used address) at the top of the IE5 window: Click 'View - Toolbars - Links' to show the Links Bar. Go to the Google site and add it to your list of 'Favourites' then drag the resulting new link from the Favourites Box onto the Links Bar which should be visible beneath the 'Address' Field.Once the Google Address appears on the Links Bar, right click it and rename it to just 'Google'.(If you shorten the names of the links, you can fit way more of them on the bar before they start dropping off to the side, which only means you'll need to click the two tiny arrows at the far right of the Links Bar to access the links that won't fit on the visible bar). Dunno if that's the info you were after, but there it goes anyhow! Cheers Lynne Hawkins |

| 13889 | 2001-06-10 01:51:00 | The following link allows you to download a browser plug in file to make google your default 'search the web' search engine. The Info explains its for IE4-5 but will probably work for IE5.5 as well. | Guest (0) | ||
| 13890 | 2001-06-10 01:53:00 | Sorry Steven, it might help if I actually gave you the link :-) www.google.com | Guest (0) | ||
| 13891 | 2001-06-10 11:28:00 | Thanks for replies. I'm not sure if I want to use the links bar as it takes more screen space. Although I guess it could become really useful. I will try the google default link first. Thanks again for help |
