Before google I used altavista, but now the few times I have tried using it since I have just found it really bad.

I have IE 6. And yes, I did what Roger and Don suggested and the only option I got is MSN.

http://www.google.com/options/defaults.html

They have a .reg file there to make Google your default IE search, read the whole blurb as there are options.

TwoRails, in reply to your qestion way back on the first page of this string, no my Eaglefeather site is nolonger online. I was so discouraged at the time that I just let it go.

And yes there are quite a few listings for Eaglefeather Fonts.

Nuke - Open up Internet Options and on the General tab click the Languages button. Add English (United States) [EN-US]. Ok all that and then see if you get the extended list of search engines. If not go back and move EN-US to the top of the languages list.

In answer to the poll - Google.

Google. I've added a quicksearch.exe link to it, so I just type 'gg' and my search criteria in the address box and it takes me to google results.

i use google as the standard search engine in mozilla . being able to type in the adress bar and then simply click search is the best innovation in a long time i think. im never switching to anything else again.
