That helped some, I at least now have the search companion back.
Ran the Qhost repair utility. Now the customize tab is gone, not
sure where it went. Bummer especially when I have all kinds of
protection software on here. I still cannot search from the
address bar,
and the customize tap is gone, any tips for these. This is a big
help so far, thanks. My wife just like being able to search from
the address bar.
Lola or Gary;
See if any of this helps. In no particular order. However, you
may have been Hijacked. So check out the links in blue.
If none of the popular search engines work, you may be a victim
of QHOSTS. Check out the URL below for advice on how to fix

Cannot get customize bar to do anything. I only have "web
search" as any engine. Noting happens when I click on the
customize tab. Is there a patch or fix to correct this in IE?
Lola or Gary;
Try this:
Start IE | Tools | Internet Options | Advanced tab | Scroll
down to ¶ When searching
UNCHECK
Do not search from the Address bar
Specifies to not use the Address bar for searches. You can
still perform searches in the Search bar by clicking the
Search button in the toolbar. Apply | OK
In IE | click the Search Icon | Click the >> next to New and
Next Customize | Autosearch Settings | Select anything BUT
Do not search from the Address Bar | OK | OK
Clcik the [X] on Search

I have Windows XP. I use to be able to just type in a key
word in the address bar and I would be automatically
directed to numerous sites to choose from. Now if I type
in for example "Amazon" I just get a blank page stating
this page cannot be displayed. Any ideas on what I may
have messed up?
