The method Microsoft uses to know which search engine to go to from the IE6 Search button is the "Region" you set in the Control Panels
For Example (XP)
Start.. Settings.. Control Panels.. Regional and Language Options
I have it at the moment to "English (New Zealand)" and it goes to search.msn.co.nz If I change it to "English (Australia)" it goes to search.ninemsn.com.au If I change it to "English (United States)" it goes to search.msn.com If I change it to "English (Canada)" it goes to ca.search.msn.com
I guess these are all hardcodes into IE6
Ah.... I thought it might be related to that. Most people don't bother to set the Region to New Zealand, and they wouldn't be seeing a problem, they'd be going to search.msn.com. Still doesn't answer the question why after 5 days, search.msn.co.nz is still down though.... Maybe nobody at Microsoft NZ sets their Windows Region and Language setting to New Zealand either :) Regards, Simon
