If you want to restore the Google %26quot;I'm Lucky%26quot; search then perform this simple steps:



1. Type about:config in Firefox location bar and press Enter



2. Type keyword in Filter textbox and you will see only the preference keyword.URL.



3. Double-click on keyword.URL and change the value to: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+鈥?/a>



You can use this to change to any search engine for keyword search.

I just loaded the google toolbar onto my page. Works for me, anytime i want to use google I just open a new tab, then type into the toolbar. Totally bypass the default search engine stuff.
very easy in firefox u see a search box to the rite hand side of address bar u can simply search from there ...u can change the search engine from there also google ...so if u search from there u will never have to open google .com to search . u see an arrow there u can change the search engine



cheers:D





this could help--------





Run regedit from your run menu and find this key :



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\I鈥?Explorer\Main



and find Search Page value and change it to google like this :



%26quot;Search Page%26quot;=%26quot;http://www.google.com%26quot;

%26quot;Search Bar%26quot;=%26quot;http://www.google.com/ie%26quot;
have you checked your default homepage though?



You seemed a techy person though so you might have looked on that.
