Thanks, that works, but it seems strange that with IE7 & the Google
toolbar I end up with 2 search boxes (the Google toolbar search box & the
IE7 search box) but I cannot make them use different search engines.

I'm just being lazy really, as I've got all the major search engines in
a folder under favourites.


Just type TEST (in caps) into the new website's search engine and copy
the URL it goes to. Click that in the drop down that allows you to add
the new search engine.


Yes, I know that. The trouble is the default search engine always
reverts to Google. You can change the default OK, but if you have the
Google tool bar installed when you restart IE the defualt reverts to
Google. I suspect it's a sly bit of code Googles slipped in.

I have the Google toolbar and when I changed my deafult search engine using
internet options it stoped the change and gave me the option of then going
ahead amd changing the option. I have done this and reloaded IE7 after
closing down and the new search engine is the default.

You can have a drop down list of search engines accessed on the right of the
search box - it's quite a nice feature.

Sadly, when I do that the default reverts to Google. I think it must be
a Google setting somewhere. Still, no real worries. I've now got a
couple of other search engines loaded as tabs on startup.
