Comments on: Add Wikipedia, Google to Vista start menu instant search http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/vista-instant-search/ Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:28:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: hezahonker http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/vista-instant-search/comment-page-1/#comment-26157 hezahonker Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:20:16 +0000 http://www.online-tech-tips.com/?p=5336#comment-26157 This is nice but what I want is a way to default search either both files and internet, or just internet. As silly as it seems, it is one more step to have to take my hands off of the keys, go to the mouse and select and click the option to search the internet. That is why I still use a google search widget because I can type and enter. This is nice but what I want is a way to default search either both files and internet, or just internet.
