I have been using a patch from <http://www.delta.edu/dgschmid/> that routes autosearch to Google.com's engine - it works great! The patch can be downloaded directly from <http://www.delta.edu/dgschmid/google.gz> - BTW, don't worry about .gz - Stuffit Expander can handle it fine. Disclaimer: I don't know if this patch would work on any version of IE beyond "5.0 (2022)". I suspect that it probably doesn't. However it's possible a similar technique could be used to edit resources, etc. and modify the autosearch. Also, YMMV - I'm sure this isn't officially supported by anyone. I'm only saying it works for me - I haven't found any problem attributable to it. -- Johnathan Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Buy Everything Wholesale (70-90% Off Retail) - Click here! http://dealers.aismedia.com/index.htm?JG5405xSIG3 To unsubscribe send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/macie-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
