How-To Geek

Hi,

This is a bit silly so I will not be offended if you wish to poke fun.

Last time I was here on the forums there was a search box I could use to enter key words related to my problem; mostly, I was saved the trouble of writing a post all about my problem because someone, sometime had had the same trouble and it had been solved.

Today, I want to find out about a toolbar that piggy-backed onto my brother's PC when he installed the VLC media player.

I believe it is called "Unmoods". To be fair, he noted that he would be obliged to install the toolbar in order to have a working copy of the player and assumed (wrongly as it turns out) that he would have no trouble un-installing the toolbar later. Even Revo cannot get rid ofthe toolbar - it was still there after he removed the VLC software.

Any idea what can be done?

Also, to remind everyone of my original problem - where is the 'search box' for the Forums?? Have I lost it or is it no longer available?

It would be sad if I had to post every time I had a problem.

Thank you for your time and attention to my issue.

Hi,

Thank you for the swift and positive responses.

My brother sent a text ten minutes ago to say he had managed to remove it; however, he neglected to add how.

The last time I used the Google seach box a new IE page appeared so I did not think to try it again.

Please, whoever is reponsible, put the internal search option back, or at least remove the misleading reference to Google and it's 'custom search' and indicate the box is for forum searches.

Mike, you could also use the "site:" opperator. If you wanted to search the site for the phrase "Build a computer" then you could search for:
site:howtogeek.com build a computer

That will not include other sites that may come up in the results for your search.
