Default Google "default" search engine
How do I change the "strings" in the registry editor so I can make google my default search engine rather then the MSN "default" SE .. I apologize as I posted this question awhile back but I can't find it now.

search the registry for search, and that should give you the strings to edit. I will still bring it up in the side pane though
