Internet Explorer Search Prefixes broke ?

[vkidv]

Well i usually use the search prefixes in IE (dont beat me for using IE)

And i installed some software and unistalled it later on. Then i realised my Search Prefixes were turned off. [they just go to a proxomitron page 'cannot connect to <search prefix>]

Search prefixes are those things which you can type a word e.g,
google and a search following and search for it..:

[I use Tweak UI to add/remove Search prefixes]

google javascript

ive checked the registry and they're still there i just cant get them to work again, is there an ON/OFF switch for it?

its a normal thing in IE so i dont know if it can be turned off or on.

If it helps, im using the Proxomitron - a local proxy; but it has always worked fine with the Proxomitron?

Thanks , Please help me fix the search prefixes.

If it was Proximatron that you installed and then removed go here (http://www.sankey.ws/proxomitron.html) and make sure you've undone the setup steps.

I know it is not the Proxomitron because i use it anyway - And it was not the one i installed. it usually works anyway with the Proxomitron.

:( Really annoying - I really liked the search prefixes.

Fixed - Default 'Search Hook' was missing in HijackThis.
