When attempting to search from the address bar, this happens.
"The page cannot be displayed" web page appears and "http:///?%20cats"
Go to the location
http://www.google.com/options/defaults.html Look down to IE select wheather u want Google or Microsoft Default. It will update your registry to either.
Set Search to Microsoft Default.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Use Search Asst"="yes"
"Search Page"="http://home.microsoft.com/access/allinone.asp"
"Search Bar"="http://home.microsoft.com/search/lobby/search.asp"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL]
""="http://home.microsoft.com/access/autosearch.asp?p=%s"
"provider"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
"SearchAssistant"="http://ie.search.msn.com/{SUB_RFC1766}/srchasst/srchasst.htm"
Set Default search to Google
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Use Search Asst"="no"
"Search Page"="http://www.google.com"
"Search Bar"="http://www.google.com/ie"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL]
""="http://www.google.com/keyword/%s"
"provider"="gogl"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
"SearchAssistant"="http://www.google.com/ie"
Then go to the following location in the registry [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]
and add a new string value with the name {CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} including the blocks {} and leave the value empty/blank...
the fix was to correct the Registry by adding the following...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]
String Value: "{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497}"
Value:
