| | instant search box How do I clear the instant search box? In XP I'd just highlight then press delete. It won't work in Vista, the word just stays there. Neither can I highlight then right click to select delete. I don't like having a list of things that I'll only have needed once. Thanks, Margaret |

| | Re: instant search box On Windows Vista there's an option to have a "box" with your perfered search engine, it's in the upper right hand corner and is always on top (in toolbar). It's for internet searches. I have been using Google, but if I switch to a different engine the list of searches carries over.
