Whenever I search from the address bar "? <search term>"
I get the error message "The page cannot be displayed."

In Preferences I have "Just display results in the main
window" checked.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Try the following and see if it will help resolve the problem.

Unable to search from IE 6.0 address bar

From Internet Explorer click on tools>internet options>advanced. Scroll down
to "search from the address bar" and check appropriate boxes. Another way is
to put the Google tool bar on I.E. Go to www.google.com and click on
"services and tools" then click "google toolbar".

Also, check the Registry to see if this file is there. Sometime during
removal of hijackers or spyware files in the Registry can get corrupted or
removed as well. If not, try adding this line to this part of the registry.

(watch for the wrap, it should be all on one line)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]

Hope this helps
