Google Makes It Easy To Add Their Search To IE7

Google is making it easy for users of Internet Explorer 7 to make Google their default search engine. Once visiting Google in IE7 you will see a pop-up box in the upper right corner of your window. If you click on the “Make Google my search” button then it will download and run a small executable that will ‘patch’ Internet Explorer for you. This seems like a nice feature to me — nice job Google!

    Yes, you are correct because that is what happened to me, but there are a lot of people who don’t use the Google Toolbar. I have seen registry patches up until this point that will allow people to switch search engines which is why this is nice and convenient.
