The aol search engine is pretty useless, so slow etc, it would be great to have Google there instead when i log in and receive the AOL welcome screen. Is this possible?Thanks

For FF, follow the next steps:
1.open firefox, type in “about:config” in the keyword box (address bar).
2. search for “keyword.url”
3. right click on the URL and select “modify”
4. copy and paste one of google’s three ways of searching:

http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m ... e=UTF-8&q=
Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” (default pre-Firefox 2.0)

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&s ... &gfns=1&q=
Google “Browse by Name” (Automatically takes you to sites with a clear match, else performs a Google search) (default in Firefox 2)

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
Google Search (Google search results page)
