How do I change the default Search Engine?

[Allen]

I'm using W2K and want to revert back to the URL for the
Search Engine used with the Go - Search the Web. As of
now my Search Engine is coming up as Brought to you by
DRSN Search. I saw the following post on another website.
It stated to go into the registry and do the following
steps:
1 - Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
2 - Move to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main
3 - Double click on Search Page
4 - Change the search page you want, e.g.
http://www.altavista.digital.com and click OK
5 - Close the registry editor

This did not resolve my situation of wanting to revert
back to the default Search Engine used with the Go -
Search the Web. Are there any other modifications I'm
needing to do? On step 4, what is the URL for the default
Search Engine used with the Go - Search the Web?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks......
