I like to use the address bar search feature where you type in your search terms in the address bar, and hit enter. It used to go to google, now it goes to an AOL search page. How do I switch it back to google? I have searched the tools and options, but cannot find it. I'm using Windows Vista. Thanks. Paul

Hey I had this problem too, this method worked for me:

1. Enter about:config into the address bar.

2. Continue after the warning.

3. Enter keyword.url into the filter.

4. Double click the entry and the replace the string value with (ignore the link)

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=

5. Done :)
