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>

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,
