The help menu says to go to the search engine toolbar icon but I don’t see one nor know how to get one?

I have a wierd, local webpage as my default search engine. When I type in question, it takes me there automatically and is pretty useless for answering anything. I am used to Google, and I tried to find directions on how to make it my defaulted search engine, but even though I foloowed the directions, nothing works. I still keep getting my wierd page.
Here are the instructions – I tried both of them, and neither one of them works:
Run regedit from your run menu and find this key :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\I… Explorer\Main
and find Search Page value and change it to google like this :
“Search Page”=”http://www.google.com”
“Search Bar”=”http://www.google.com/ie”
I don’t want a search bar, so I just put in the searcha page value, restarted it, and nothing changed.
Then I tried these directions, but nothing showed up like it said it would. (at http://www.google.com/options/defaults.html):
Internet Explorer
For Windows: Download this file to make Google the default search engine for Internet Explorer versions 4.0 – 6.0. (Note: you will need Administrator privileges on your computer in order to install this file.)
The “search” button will bring up a Google search box down the left side of your browser.
The “Search The Web” menu option from the “Go” menu will take you to Google. For IE4 only, you can type “? ” in the URL box instead of a URL, and it will perform the search.
When you click on the above link, IE will ask you whether to open or to save the file. Select “open” to immediately make the changes (i.e., to make Google your default search engine for the actions described above). Select “save,” and then look at the file under Notepad, if you’d rather examine what the file does first. Be aware that you will probably have to reboot your system to make the change go into effect (even if your computer does not tell you so).
By default, Google will show results in the search channel window, leaving the main window for browsing. If you prefer seeing the search results in the main window, try this file instead.
I did, and when it said RUN, I ran it. Nothing changed.
Help! Thanks.

my default search engine is ask.com because of the program that i downloaded. i want to change it to google.com. please tell me.

The aol search engine is pretty useless, so slow etc, it would be great to have Google there instead when i log in and receive the AOL welcome screen. Is this possible?
Thanks

i downloaded the myspace toolbar and it made myspace my default search engine D}:
i disable the toolbar, but myspace is still my default search engine, so when i open a new tab and enter a search term or whatever instead of using google it uses myspace.
so basically i need to make google my default search engine.
thanks fo’ your help!

I am currently using Opera web browser. (version9.27 if it matters) I noticed that the default search engine it’s set to is google, how can i change this? I know it has other available search engines you can use in the drop down, but it always reverts back to google as the default.

my search engine at the top right corner is google, but i want to change it to AOL …any idea how?

Ever since I installed AOL instant messenger, AIM, whenever I type some words directly in the address bar, my PC shows search result from AOL not Google. How do I get rid of AOL and use Google as my default search engine…? I am using Firefox, and I haven’t been able to change the setting…
