After installing XPsp2 in our office, 3 out of 5
computers can no longer search from the address bar in
internet explorer.

We've tried resetting our web settings, restoring
defaults, changing the options in how it searches every
way possible, all to no avail.

Whenever we type in something we want to search for, it
tries to go to that page instead (if you type in "Great
Danes", you get an error message saying the page cannot
be displayed and the address shows as http:///? great%
20danes )

Please help,

George
 
Allright, nobody replied so we "fiddled" some more.

We installed the Google toolbar and then in the toolbar
options we selected "use google as the default search
engine in internet explorer" in the "more" tab.

Now we can search from the address bar again - but it's
with Google instead of MSN Search

Please take note of this bug Microsoft!
