Has it always done this? I only noticed because it looks different, there were some new features, and the options are different :confused:

I like the highlight feature when doing research... I leave the pop-up blocker on, but XP SP-2 takes care of most of that now....

Exactly. I used to use it for pop-up blocking, until SP2 came out, now I don't need it anymore. Do Google searches from the normal address bar.

faster Googling
You can do it from the address bar...

not Google
Make it use Google.

Exactly. Firefox has Google embedded in the address bar by default and you can set IE to use Google as the default search engine as well. Enter your query in the address bar and IE will search Google and return the result. Look it up!

But now that MS is really starting to try to compete with Google I bet this feature will be removed in IE7.

Download the IE powertoy, unless you're a diehard FF fan, then they have an extention for it. One day Google will be as hated as Microsoft, that day is coming.
