zebot,

Open Notepad and copy and paste the following between the lines and save the file as searchfix.reg. Double-click on the file to merge the contents into the registry.
=====================BEGIN CUT======================

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
"SearchAssistant"="

http://ie.search.msn.com/{SUB_RFC1766}/srchasst/srchasst.htm"

"CustomizeSearch"="

http://ie.search.msn.com/{SUB_RFC1766}/srchasst/srchcust.htm"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl]
"Provider"="yaho"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\main]
"Search Page"="

http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&ar=iesearch"

===========================END CUT=========================

If you see a SearchBar entry under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main], delete it.

Thanks reghakr-
This wont put "MSN" search in the registry as default will it??? lol.. Just wanna be able to choose which search engine again, under that "Smart assistant" thing..zebot most appreciates ur help

 

[reghakr]

No doubt, since this is the default (Microsoft) setting. It can be easily changerd using the Customize button, then choose the AutoSearch Settings button.

Thanks so much reghakr-your answer seems to solved my irritating problem of losing my "Search" customize function in IE 5.5
Since I started working on this-my keyboard now enters a - dash, every time i hit
-the return button,, in emails,text msgs,anything...? "ENTER" button wore out?? new keyboard? reload windows98,lol? PS--this happend before I edited the registry with ur fix for the search thing... I owe u lunch...zebot thanks again

 

[reghakr]

I'd have to say it's probably the keyboard itself.
See if you can borrow another. That will easily tell you yes or no.
