0 hurting101 Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Next best thing: use search prefixes. Merge this: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerSearchUrl=] @="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s&btnI=I'm+Feeling+Lucky" " "="+" "+"="%2B" "%"="%25" "&"="%26" ...then you can get the most likely site by typing this in the address bar: = searchterm (searchterm is your search term) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Gary King Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I think the best thing to do would be to make your homepage Google.com, and search like that, since the I'm Feeling Lucky option @ Google ISN'T 100% accurate ALL the time [AFAIK, since I don't ever use that option anyways lol] :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
