Agent Ransack as default search tool (F3)

[Bernhard Ess]

Hello, not sure if this is the right group, but I didn't find a better one.

How do I integrate Agent Ransack into the Windows (XP) Explorer in the way
that hitting the F3 button starts Agent Ransack insead of the default Search
box of XP which is - IMO - a pain to use.
It used to run flawlessly after changing key in the registry but since a new
installation of XP it doesn't work anymore - F3 starts the Windows search.

Thanks in advance for help,

Bernie

I use FileLocator Pro (the grown-up version of Agent Ransack), and it
has an option to replace the native search facility: Tools > System
Integration > Replace default Explorer search (Ctrl+F). This
functionality may be something that is only in FileLocator Pro, and not
Agent Ransack; I'm not sure.
