Search features for IE in TweakUI

[Guest]

Hi!
In TweakUi for xp there is an option were you can direct addresss bar
searches in different search engins by making a prefix for the search engins
URL.
I can not get this to work at all. for example. if I enter a prefix "gogla"
for the URL: http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&q=%s It states that %s wil be
replaced by the search string. So if I enter "gogla car" i would get search
results from google for the word car.
To put it simple....NO it does not!!
Please help

Hello Kallemyran,

If you like the idea of searching from the address bar you can also try my
new address bar replacement Quero. I am looking forward to feedback.

You have to enable Search from the Address bar.
(Options, Advanced tab, Search from the Address bar section)
Radio button: Just display the results in the main window

Also, that machinery can be interfered with by third-party toolbars
and search sites (intentionally or not). So try uninstalling or disabling
such products if the above option is not sufficient.

I have had search from addressbar enabled from start and I do not have any
toolbars or search sites. It still doesent work. I feel that I have missed
something obvious. Do you hav this feature up and running??

Something similar. I don't use TweakUI but I do use Quick Search.exe
(from the IE5 Web Accessories)


What happens if you just use Search from the Address bar
with ? (i.e., standard question mark, find or go command prefix)?

If you have access to another machine or partition which is working
normally you could compare its registry accesses with your problem
system's registry accesses using RegMon (freeware from SysInternals.)
Include filter would be iexplore


Good luck

Robert

No luck! I give up! The time spent on this problem is unproportional to the
reward I could get from the search feature. Thanks for your time and help.

If you are still following this thread, you might search for a browser
called "Slim Browser". It uses the IE engine, but provides a search
bar, programmable to any search engine (I have mine set to Google). It
also has tabbed browsing plus extra options. It's not a bad
alternative to IE, and, it's free.
