Hi John - Sorry, I misunderstood. What you want is QuickSearch.exe which is
installed as part of Web Accessories - you can get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/ie5wa.asp There are
a number of "pre-installed" searches (you can also add your own quite easily
manually or go here:
http://searchy.protecus.de/en/ for a wide variety of
..reg files you can download), one of which is "g" which is the Google
search, substituting this string:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%s which
then operates just as you've described it. When you open QuickSearch you'll
quickly see what I mean.
Web Accessories works fine in IE6 except that you'll need to do an F5
Refresh on the blank page that the Images List click brings up to finally
get them. Thorsten Gudera has created both German and English "corrected"
Versions of imglist.htm which fix this. You can contact him here:
Thorsten.GuderaATt-online.de (replace AT with @ sign). For Toggle Images
(which you'll find on your Links toolbar), remember that you'll have to
refresh after toggling to see the effects on the current page. (BTW, if you
place a shortcut to it on your Quick Launch toolbar or wherever, you can
also use it to prevent spam HTML emails from "calling home".)
Here's also a fix for "Copy Location" courtesy of a poster nicknamed Caveman
I've verified that this works fine for Win2kPro and should for any other OS
as well:
"Use Notepad to open GRABURL.HTM (found usually in WINDOWS\WEB), and edit as
shown below:
[FIND:]------------------------------------------------
document.all.location.value = win.document.location.href;
[REPLACE WITH:]----------------------------------------
document.all.location.value = win.location.href;
[END]
(so, the only thing to do is removing ".document" from the line)"
Be aware also that there is a bug in the Zoom functions. The following is a
(modified)
quote of a previous posting by Alan Edwards of a previous quote by Ron
Vernon which outlines the fix:
"I have not checked recently if the error has been corrected.
Without looking at your attachments, I assume you have made
adjustments like this old post by Ron Vernon MVP, which I made myself.

This is a bug in the web accessories.
To fix it, use Notepad to open ZOOMIN.HTM (found usually in
WINDOWS\WEB ),
and edit it to read both image dimensions before setting any of them:
old contents:
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....
new contents (the 3rd line in the fragment above moved up):
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....
Do the same for ZOOMOUT.HTM changing '*' to a '/'
..

I've attached corrected versions of zoomout.htm and zoomin.htm since
they're fairly small. (If you have a firewall, they may get re-named
extensions - just change back to .htm) You can just place them in
\Windows\Web if you chose.
