Hi THat looks great but if I wanted to use a different search engine such as http://www.primaryschoolict.com/hi.php do just need to replace it in the URL above like this

“http://www.primaryschoolict.com/hi.php/search?q={searchTerms}&rls=com.microsoft:{language}&ie={inputEncoding}&oe={outputEncoding}&startIndex={startIndex?}&startPage={startPage}”

Many thanks

Simon

Hello Chad,
I’ve just done an updated post that covers IE8 on Vista or Windows 7… let me know if it works for you!
You can find it here:

Hey Ben, this is great. Thank you!

Do you have a version of this ADM that will work with IE8?

Thanks

I’ve found that it doesn’t set the default search provider on an existing profile, only when creating a new profile. Am I the only one experiening this?

Hi Ender,
From what I can tell the URL above (3 comments up) should do what you need, did you try it?

Does anyone know what URL to use for searching with just google.com?

Hi,
Try changing the url to:
“http://www.google.com/search?q={searchTerms}&rls=com.microsoft:{language}&ie={inputEncoding}&oe={outputEncoding}&startIndex={startIndex?}&startPage={startPage}”

and see what happens?

Thanks this is great,
One question, I have changed the google url in the adm to google.com.au instead of .co.uk but when a user searches it still shows the UK google results. Is there anything else that has to be changed?
