My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:
Open IE > tools > advanced tab > scroll down > tick your option in the
search settings? Does that do the trick? It's probably set to not search
from the address bar.

Hmm
Okay, open IE, click on the search button, in the new side panel that opens
click on customize, when the new window opens click on advanced, select a
search engine and set your settings to what you'd get the most use out of.

Hello Meagain,
If you like searching from the address bar you can switch to my new Quero
Toolbar, which is an address bar replacement with built-in search
functionality (includes also find-as-you-type on web pages).
I welcome your feedback,
Viktor

I suppose that this could be malware related? It's an idea at any rate...

Before cleaning download this:
LSP-Fix - a free program to repair damaged Winsock 2 stacks:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
Use that should cleaning out your PC remove or damage your in-place winsock
and you can't connect to the internet.
From the virus and trojan category pick one application, they're all free,
download it and install it. Make sure that you update it. From the spyware
category pick all three, download them and update them to the latest
definitions. Reboot, press the F8 key over and over again, from the menu
select Safe mode without networking. Do your cleaning in there. Reboot to
regular mode and run the scans again. This isn't going to be quick or easy
but it might just solve your problems and it should prevent you from further
problems so long as you keep them updated and scan often. Most of them can
be enabled to update and scan automatically.
I'd give that a try and see if that does anything to assist you. If not then
perhaps we'll have to root around in here until we find someone who knows.
