How to configure Address Bar for Google in XP?

T

tiki2k

When I type a word in the address bar, IE goes directly to Google with that
search result. This is W2K Pro.
But my computer w/ XP won't do that. It only goes to MSN for search result.
Where is the option to use Google?

Hi,
From google.com> Services & Tools>
"Additionally, you can Add Google to your Browser by making Google your
default search engine. Other browser tricks are also available." (at the

Is that the only way?
In my Win2K machine, I can customize the Autosearch settings within IE6 so
that the default search result is Google? Does IE no longer do that?

You change that from the Search pane> Customize> Autosearch. If you have
very few choices, check that under Internet Options> General> Languages,
English (US) is selected and is at the top of the list.

Hope this helps,
