Searches

[Bob Kelley]

Whenever I request a search, either Microsoft or any
independent search engine such as Google, the result is
not the items I am searching for but a dozen or more
totally irrelevant sites, with no way to get to the items
I am looking for. Any way to prevent the unwanted
information from appearing? Thanks

Be smarter when you search.

Im having a similar related problem in a way, I think. (that oughta confuse
quite a few people) Ive gotten so used to searching through the address bar
in IE that its first reaction. I installed something (forget what) and it
came with one of those annoying little toolbars and now that its gone when I
type in something to search for in the address bar I get the "Page Can not
be displayed" How do I get my address bar searches back?

Works for the Address bar as well.
