i've been playing with Javascript a little
and added this to my links bar
javascript:void(q=prompt('What%20do%20you%20want%20to%20Search,%20MeFo%20?','')); if(q)void(location.href='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q='+escape(q))

will put a nice window where you can search
just try adding it to your address bar and check out what it does
 
Pretty sweet idea. Works nicely.
I have my IE setup so i can prefix a url in the address bar with G and it will do a google search, e.g. "g windows xp" in the IE address bar will search Google for 'windows xp' :)
 
using Microsoft's PowerToys
pop it open, then click onto Internet Explorer on the left
then click search from the sub-option
Next click the create button
put g in the prefix box and http://www.google.com/search?q=%s in the URL box
Click OK then OK again, and you should be set :)
 
nice tip, both of them.

I've made a reg file for those who dont want to get/install power toys.
Simply download then double click the file, then pre-fix your search query with 'g' in the url bar
e.g. "g Windows XP"

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
