To use Classic Internet Search, first display the Search bar. Classic Internet Search appears in the Search bar with the title Search and a small toolbar that includes New, Next, and Customize buttons, as shown in Figure.

If instead you see Search Companion (the Search bar’s title will display Search Companion), you can switch to Classic Internet Search as follows:

1. Click the Change Preferences link at the bottom of the Search bar.

2. Click Change Internet Search Behavior.

3. Click With Classic Internet Search.

4. Click OK.

5. Close all Internet Explorer windows and then restart Internet Explorer.

Classic Internet Search operates in either of two modes. If you use the Search Assistant (shown in Figure), you start by selecting one of seven search categories (if you don’t see all seven, click the More link). After you’ve made this initial selection, the rest of the Search bar presents edit boxes appropriate for your selection.

If you prefer, you can dispense with Search Assistant and deploy a single search provider for all your queries in Classic Internet Search.


Figure. Classic Internet Search’s Search Assistant lets you choose from broad categories—such as Web page, address, and business.

Search Assistant begins by using the default search provider for the category you’ve chosen. (You can modify this default.) After it has completed a search using the default provider, you can click the Next button at the top of the Search bar to repeat the search with another provider. (To use a particular provider, click the arrow beside the Next button and then choose from the list.)
