How To Create Your Own Search Provider In IE8
Jan 18, 2012
Previously in IE8, there was a great option that allowed users to create a search provider if one could not be found in IE's list of add-on search providers. You can see a good overview of how it used to be done at CNET: Add search engines in Internet Explorer 8 | CNET TV - CNET. As this article states, "If you don't see your favorite. Scroll to the bottom and click "Create your own search provider."" IE has changed how you add search providers and there is no longer a list to scroll.
Apparently, IE has removed the link to launch the dialog box to "Create Your Own Search Provider" (I cant find this link). Using IE8, Is there a way to easily create my own search provider? I am not looking for a solution that requires me to directly change the registry. I currently have 9 Search Engines in the IE Search engine Drop down and I want to add one more. The Search engine I want to Add is not available in IE's list of add-ons.

I am currently trying to use my laptop wireless to provide Internett access to my Desktop computer (wireless). I remember doing this on my XBOX 360, all though I am not quite sure how to do this on Windows 7 64 Bit ultimate.
I have connected a ethernet cable from my laptop to my Desktop Computer, and they are both lightning green.
If anyone could be kind enough to provide me with information on how to do this step by step, I would really appreciate it!

Outlook 2007 Task search versus Windows7 computer wide search.
I enter the same keyword (one of the words contained within the title of a completed task) in the Outlook Task search box as I do the Windows 7 orb 'search programs and files.' The Windows 7 search returns the correct search result (along with a lot other results having the same keyword) practically immediately whereas Outlook is still searching...and searching.
If I have index options set to include the C: drive and Outlook, what's going on with Outlook?

some specifics and pinpoint the differences (or maybe a good website) that would pinpoint the differences between the Windows 7 search and the outlook 2007 search? I know the outlook search searches through email but are there other difference I am overlooking between the two?

I began having an issue with my laptops ATI Radeon graphics driver not working properly. It is fixed now, but the other issues I was having at the same time was not being able to view indexed files through the "search programs and files" and "windows explorer search" box. The screen goes blank or does not produce any results. Also, one of my downloaded software disk programs will not open--error. This particular program, Logos Bible software, index its files quite often. Even when I am not using the program. I also cannot change my desktop background to any picture except solid colors. I think my laptop has a corrupted file somewhere, or it is infected with malware.

"windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX'" error I have been experiencing lately.
The problem is similar to the one I described previously (here: Windows could not start the Windows Search service on Local Computer)
...namely, I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, and have experienced the same error message ( windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX', where XXX is my search query) when attempting to initiate a search via the Windows start menu search box. Unfortunately, my previously proposed solution (of removing a network search location from Windows Search Index list) does not resolve it.....and so finally I resorted to using Samhrutha's proposed solution of modifying the registry to reset Windows Search back to default (which DID work...but ended up removing all the search index customizations I had made).
However, when I then modify the search indexing options to include indexing of my C: drive, I get the "windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX'" error message.
If I then uncheck the C: drive box in the search in the search indexing options, the error message does not occur....so I then went thru a tedious process of trying to identify which folders on my C drive were causing the issue, and from what I am able to tell, the "windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX'" error message seems to always occur when the indexing options include at least one folder WHICH IS OWNED by TRUSTED INSTALLER (e.g., program files folder, program files (x86), c:, etc.). This wasn't a problem previously, so my guess is that MS Update recently (e.g., w/in the last few months) changed some security setting which now prevents Windows Search from being able to index/access folders owned by TRUSTED INSTALLER, resulting in the "windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX'" error message.

I've got a file sitting in a folder within my Documents that Windows search is unable to see. I've searched for the title of the doc, I've searched for a phrase within the doc, it cannot see it.I've navigated to the specific folder that it is located in, so that the file is visible on the screen, done the search, it still cannot be found.I also tried modifying the file today so it has new Modified date, search still cannot find it.Indexing seems to be working since other files that I've created since this file do come up in a search. And I created a file today and searched for it and it is found. So search is mostly working, just not for this file, and perhaps an unknown number of other files.

Today, I noticed my search bar was missing from both the start menu and folders. I had just reinstalled Windows 7 yesterday, and also installed MS Office 2007 then as well.Btw, I have already tried the "Turn Windows features on and off" thing, and Search is already checked off, but there is still no search.I've also checked through gpedit, and made sure disabling search was disabled, but that didn't work either
