Hi Engamer!

In Internet Explorer's toolbar/button bar, there is a button labeled
"Search".  Click that, and it will open up a sidebar with an MS Search
Assistant and "What are you looking for?"

Close to the Search button in the dialogue bubble is the heading "You
may also want to..."  Click "Change Preferences".  Then select "Change
Internet Search Behavior", and select Google for your Default Search
Engine.

Click "OK", and you're done!

If you don't have the Search Companion activated, click the Search
button in the toolbar/button bar, and click the Customize button in
the sidebar that will open up.  Select the "Autosearch Settings"
button at the bottom, and choose "Google Sites".  This will allow you
to search Google through your browser's location bar.  Simply type in
your keywords and hit Enter.

Hope this helps!

--Missy

Search terms: None.  Flipped through my own IE settings.
