I cannot search from IE6 toolbar no more

[Guest]

in the beginning i was able to type a word in the toolbar and a search will
begin. now after i encounterd accoona and instantly removed it i can't
search from the toolbar any more all i get is this: http:///? horse
"invalid syntax error"
I tried everything that i could think of except uninstalling ie6 and then
reinstall. trying to avoid that part. any help out there i would really
appreciate it.
