In I.E. Yahoo search keeps hijacking my google search.

I have been fighting this for quite some time; searched the web and no one has a answer.

I have my H.P set to yahoo news.

There is a Google search bar above and to the left of the Yahoo search bar.

Almost every time I start putting a query into the Google search, it will take a word or two and then jump into the Yahoo search bar. If I go back to the Google search bar and continue, then it stays in Google. Of course sometimes I have typed a few words in Google and don't know the cursor has jumped to Yahoo search.

It's not a major issue, just terribly frustrating.

Clueless : Which rev of IE are you using ?

Try this : "Right side of address bar there is small search box,click on y sign and change to Google.. For each search provider you add, a button is displayed in the drop-down list from the Address bar. This makes switching between providers during a browsing session easy and fast. All you have to do is click a button to switch your search to that provider. To change your default provider, remove a provider, switch the order of the buttons in the search box, or see what other management options are available, click the Tools menu, click Manage Add-ons, and then, under Add-on Types, click Search Providers."

Try Chrome

when that happened to me in firefox,i went to the search thingy to the right and got rid of all the other search engines that were listed and just left google up as default. no mas problema
