Manually add google search provider as default one through registry

For an unknown reason, the default search provider Google of my Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP had been tampered. I tried the following ways to recovery it but in vain:

  1. tried to Find More Providers… through http://www.ieaddons.com/cn/searchproviders and clicked on the Add to Internet Explorer button;
  2. also tried to follow the instruction at the bottom of  the above-mentioned web page Create your own Search Provider;
  3. Reset Internet Explorer Settings on Internet Explorer –> Tools –>Internet Options –> Advanced.

At last, I have to manually add Google search provider by editing the windows registry. Here is the way, in case someone need it. Copy the following text and paste to a new Text Document, then save as google.reg and double click to run it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes]
“DefaultScope”=”Google”
“UpgradeTime”=hex:60,f3,af,58,06,48,ca,01
“ShowSearchSuggestionsGlobal”=dword:00000001
“DisplayQuickPick”=dword:00000001
“DownloadUpdates”=dword:00000001
“Version”=dword:00000002

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Google]
“DisplayName”=”Google Search”
“SortIndex”=dword:00000001
“URL”=”http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q={searchTerms}&aq=f&oq=&aqi=”
“Codepage”=dword:0000fde9
“SuggestionsURLFallback”=
“FaviconURLFallback”=”http://www.google.com/favicon.ico”
“FaviconPath”=

Or you can just download the following file and double click to run it:

add google search provider as default one ( right click and save as )

But the deficiency is it can’t enable the Search Suggestions function. It’s nice of you to add a supplementary.©
