instant search box
How do I clear the instant search box? In XP I'd just highlight then press
delete. It won't work in Vista, the word just stays there. Neither can I highlight then right click to select delete. I don't like having a list of things that I'll only have needed once. Thanks, Margaret

What instant search box?
Which search engine are you using? Are you referring to searching your PC or searching the net? ------- *Report back, please* "Margaret G" Margaret wrote in message ...

instant search box
On Windows Vista there's an option to have a "box" with your perfered search
engine, it's in the upper right hand corner and is always on top (in toolbar). It's for internet searches. I have been using Google, but if I switch to a different engine the list of searches carries over. "Bob" wrote: What instant search box? Which search engine are you using?
