Install Firefox. Navigate to desired page. Start typing search text.

Change default browser. Install AdBlockPlus. Don't look back.

HTH.

The search field in the top right fires up whatever search engine is configured as your "default search provider" within IE i.e. Google, Yahoo, etc.

Any ideas? Cheers.

It doesn't open a dialog box any more, pressing Ctrl+F or selecting "Find on this page" adds a search field to the toolbar like Firefox & Chrome do.

It took me a while to find "Find on this page" (made to appear along with File, Edit, etc by right clicking and then checking the menu bar). After which Find seemed to work okay.
