Commonly used search skills four

First, Firefox search results stand out
Using the Firefox browser search bar, although you can quickly call the specified search engine to perform the search operation, but I found a bug in use. Under the initial settings, the default search engine of the program is Chinese Google, but after entering the keyword in the search bar and confirming the operation, the currently displayed page is Google's home page, not the search result page, which obviously affects our Search efficiency.

At present, the easiest solution is as follows: Enter "about:config" in the address bar, open "browser.search.param.Google.1.custom" and "browser" in the "filter" "browser.search.param.Google.1.default", clear its value "chrome://browser/content/searchconfig.properties".

Second, change MSN Messenger 7.0 search engine

For the bundle strategy, MSN Messenger 7.0 search engine built-in as MSN Search, but many friends are used to Google. So can you swap it? This can be done using the MSN Shell, the most popular MSN plugin in the country. After we call up the "MSN Shell Options" window, select "Channel Service" and then select the search service as Google in the right view.

Third, make Windows XP ignore compression package when searching

Windows XP system supports searching ZIP and CAB format compression package, which has advantages and disadvantages. If you feel that the search speed is seriously affected and you want to block this feature, you can cancel the system's search support for the compressed format. Enter "regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll" and "regsvr32 /u cabview.dll" in "Start → Run" to confirm the operation and invalidate the ZIP and CAB format search functions.

Edit Tip: If you need to restore search for such compressed files in the future, enter "regsvr32 zipfldr.dll" and "regsvr32 cabview.dll" in "Run".

Fourth, lost Windows XP Search Assistant

When the system "slimming" operation or the destruction of system files due to the installation of a program, may cause the Windows XP search assistant function to fail. The specific performance is as follows: After performing the “Search” function, the system pops up an error dialog box stating “Cannot find a file needed to run the search assistant. You may need to run the installation.” Then the “Search Assistant” toolbar will display a blank. .

There are two solutions, one: open the folder "C:\\Windows\\inf", find the "srchasst.inf" file, right click with the mouse, select "Install" in the pop-up menu Second: run the registry, locate "HKEY_CURRENT_ USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\CabinetState", create a new string "Use Search Asst", set its value to "NO".
