New to XP, and hate the search dog.

[Harry_Gould]

Is there any way to get rid of the mutt or 3rd party search engines for XP.

If you don't like the little puppy, I do, go to search and on the left
side, you will see a slider, drag it down till you see change preferences.
You can choose a different character or non at all.

If the default was a cat, I would have to do something about it!

Cheers, JAX

As the dog has been dealt with, try Agent Ransack for your file searches.
