IE Seach from Address Bar ERROR

[Guest]

I always use the address bar to search from Internet explorer. Recently
whever I tried to search I started getting this on Yahoo:

Address Bar:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=q1=AACAAAAAAAAAAA--&q2=QzZEmg--&fr=ieas

Result Page:
We did not find results for "q1=AACAAAAAAAAAAA--&q2=QzZEmg--".Also try:
- Check your spelling.
- Try more general words.

It does the same thing even when I switched to Google or MSN as the default
search engine for the address bar. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this.
I am sure I do not have spyware or a virus.
- Try different words that mean the same thing.

There is a fault with the install of the Yahoo Toolbar - It sets the wrong
Default SearchURL

intead of

http://search.yahoo.com/search/msie?p=%s&o=1&m=i&a=fd&ei=UTF-8

you can replace your default value by the registry or the easiest way if you
are unsure of the registry is to

choose the Reset Web Settings button on the Programs tab of the Internet
Options control panel.

I ended up reformatting my computer, it was about time anyway, but Thank You
for the help, that was one of the things I had not tried, but now I know for
next time.
