Hello marioc,

I'm not sure if I've understood you correctly, but if your talking about what I think your talking about, it's very very simple.

To the right of the search box, there is a magnifying glass, with a drop down box attached to it. If you go to Change Search Defaults, you can organise, remove and set your default search engines here. If you want to add more, just click on Find More Providers.

In IE7 see at the top right corner search bar there is a little arrow for a drop down list,click it and choose change search defaults.then in the popup box click on the providor you wish to remove and press remove button.

To set default providor click on the providor you want and set as default.

Do this in same box as to remove a providor.

Yea...I meant to clear the things I been googling. But I think I found just a simple way of doing it and that is to just click on it and delete it.
