SEARCH ENGINE PROBLEMS

I can't get my autosearch engine working, it's all blank. I tried to customize it but this script keeps appearing "an error has occurred in th script on this page"

line; 6
char:10
error:category is underfined
code:0

do you want to contunue running scripts on this page?" and when I say yes, it still won't let me customize.

Would someone here be able to help me, please?

Thank you all for your help in advance

 

It's been a while since I ran across this - assume you are using IE. Try Tools>Internet Options>Advanced. Under the Browsing section, if "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" is not checked, please check it, click Apply, then OK. Does that help?

Hello Blue, and thank u for answering my post. Yes, I am using IE. It's that left side search panel(as if you didn't know) that I can't get to work. I did what you suggested by putting a check along side the "disable script debugging in Tools>Internet Options>Advanced, but it still doesn't work. That search panel just stays all blank and if that script error window didn't appear I could customize the settings. That script error just won't let me pass.I was using that search panel just two weeks ago and don't know what happened to it. Again, thank you so much

 

The other thing I'd try, more as a shot in the dark and just before I attempted an IE repair as suggested by ronjor, is to empty out cookies and temporary files (Tools>Internet Options>General - Delete Cookies; Delete Files, Delete all offline content; Clear History).

Do you recall if you had your Customize Search feature set for Search Assistant or Use one search service ?

If you had it set for....Use one search service....I would be curious to know which site is being called for in regards to your Search Bar entry. If you take a look at the below registry location....you should have a similar entry. The portion that determines which site you have selected....is the number part in bold below....which for 01 signifies MSN Search. Unfortunately this is not something you can reset via IE's Reset Web Settings.

Some of the one search service entries are:
02=AOL Search
03=Big Foot
04=EuroSeek
-
-
-
etc.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

"Search Bar"="http://g.msn.com/0SEENUS/SAOS[B]01[/B]"

If....you had it set to use Search Assistant....that will be a different set of sites and a different set of circumstances.
