PROBLEMS. http://searchenginescript.biz/qa-making-google-my-default-search-engine-problems/ http://searchenginescript.biz/qa-making-google-my-default-search-engine-problems/#comments Sun, 06 May 2012 16:10:01 +0000 admin http://searchenginescript.biz/qa-making-google-my-default-search-engine-problems/ Question by Hotspot:
Making Google my default search engine? Problems.
I have a wierd, local webpage as my default search engine. When I type in question, it takes me there automatically and is pretty useless for answering anything. I am used to Google, and I tried to find directions on how to make it my defaulted search engine, but even though I foloowed the directions, nothing works. I still keep getting my weird page.

Here are the instructions – I tried both of them, and neither one of them works:

Run regedit from your run menu and find this key :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

and find Search Page value and change it to google like this :
“Search Page”=”http://www.google.com”
“Search Bar”=”http://www.google.com/ie”

I do not want a search bar, so I just put in the searcha page value, restarted it, and nothing changed.

Then I tried these directions, but nothing showed up like it stated it would. (at http://www.google.com/options/defaults.html):

Internet Explorer

For Windows: Download this file to make Google the default search engine for World wide web Explorer versions 4.0 – 6.0. (Note: you will need Administrator privileges on your personal in order to install this file.)

The “search” button will bring up a Google search box down the left side of your browser.

The “Search The Web” menu option from the “Go” menu will take you to Google. For IE4 only, you can type “? ” in the URL box instead of a URL, and it will perform the search.

When you click on the above link, IE will ask you whether to open or to save the file. Choose “open” to immediately make the changes (i.e., to make Google your default search engine for the actions described above). Choose “save,” and then look at the file under Notepad, if you’d rather analyze what the file does first. Be aware that you will probably have to reboot your system to make the change go into effect (even if your personal does not tell you so).

By default, Google will show results in the search channel window, leaving the main window for browsing. If you like seeing the search results in the main window, try this file instead.

I did, and when it stated RUN, I ran it. Nothing changed.

Help! Thanks.

Thanks but I do not want to make it my homepage, just my default search engine. It is not hijacked, it just happened to be the default that my provider gives you when you subscribe.

But thanks, I will try “cakefruit”‘s instructions. They sound easy enough, if they work :o ).

Is anyone having problems with the Yahoo Music Engine at the moment?
I’ve been trying to get the Yahoo! Music Engine to run, but I keep getting errors. It was working fine earlier today, but now I get errors abou8t scripts not being able to run and none of the search functionality works.

Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
