Changing your search provider to Google in Internet Explorer

Submitted by soccerfiend on Tue, 2011-10-11 17:10

I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so surely there must be a better way to change the default search provider to Google in more recent versions of IE.

To make it easy I have a link that I can click to accomplish this very task:
Click this link to make Google your Search Provider in Internet Explorer

Here is the raw HTML that makes that link (note that it is all one line if you copy and paste it):

  1. <a Href="#" onClick="window.external.AddSearchProvider(&quot;http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/3/C/A3C89D63-E2F0-460D-9F5F-23B51EA52B5E/Google.xml&quot;);DCSext.ie_asp=&quot;Google&quot;">Click this link to make Google your Search Provider in Internet Explorer</a>
