Google search from your address bar

PERFORM CUSTOM SEARCHES WITH YOUR BROWSER
Did you know that you don't have to go to a search site when
you are looking for something on the Internet? You can find
exactly what you are looking for directly from your browser.
And you can even select the search site that your browser uses.
When you type keywords into the address box in Internet
Explorer or Netscape, the browsers perform a search for you.
The default search engine in IE is MSN Search; Netscape uses
its own search engine.
You can change the search engine, if you want. Let's say you
want to use Google. Here's how to change it:
In Internet Explorer:
--Click the Search button. Click Customize>>Autosearch settings
--Click the down arrow under "Choose a search provider for
address bar searches." Click Google Sites
--Under "When searching," be sure to select "Just display
results in the main window". Click OK>>OK.
In Netscape 6:
--Click Edit>>Preferences. Double click Navigator
--Click Internet Search
--Click the down arrow on the box opposite "Search using"
and select Google. Click OK.
