Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Internet Explorer / October 2006

Is there anyway to remove the search box from IE 7?  I would like to extend
the address bar the full length of the screen as I had it in IE6.

I frequently start typing a website and the auto-complete box underneath
would list out various web pages on the website, and I could just scroll
down to the page I needed.

This feature is in IE7, HOWEVER, because the bar is so short, the web page
addresses in the box underneath are now short too.  Frequently they are not
long enough to even see what page is addressed.

I tried to go to the View menu and could not find a way to release the
Search box from the toolbar or to move it to a lower toolbar.

If anybody knows how to expand the address bar to full length, please let me
know.  Else I'll head back to IE6.

The address bar has always worked as a Search Box since IE4.  Why Microsoft
would now REQUIRE that everyone have a separate search bar permanently on
screen is beyond me.

Thanks!
