I run XP on here and Yahoo was set as the search engine from the toolbar. Somewhere along the line I changed it to Google somehow accidentaly.

I'd like to get it back to Yahoo as it was easier to set the search to UK pages only.

Or is there an easier way to define Google to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Laymans terms only please.

It's dead easy to search UK pages in google. Under the bit you put the search terms in are the 'google search' and 'I'm feeling lucky' tabs, then under that are two search criteria buttons, 'the web' and 'pages from the UK'. Just select the one you want.

If you're using MS Internet Explorer then you are missing out on a far superior browser in Mozilla Firefox.

However, if you have the Google toolbar, sometimes you don't get the UK option on the bar. I'm not sure how to change this.

If you search on .com you don't get the UK box to tick. You have to search on .co.uk

Thanks all, I done it. John Pontings "tennis racket" was a very useful bit of advice.

Dom - How is Firefox far superior? I have heard of it but can see no problem with what I am using now :biggrin:.
