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!

  1. well if u install over IE6 w/ googletoolbar it will already be default search engine :-)

  2. 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.

  3. ohh forgot to also mention…simply go here:

    [microsoft.com]

    and click on engines…u can then cycle thru engines within IE7

    i found that by clicking on that blue button next to searchbox..and choose the “Get search providers”

  4. That is some good information that I am sure could help many users!
