Why trying in Vista search itself.
Install IE8 and you’ll be able to search on best search-provider as you wish, including wikipedia, MSDN, Google, Yahoo, etc. Also, the new ‘Accelraters’ in IE8 is killer feature of IE. You’ll be able to search the net with leastusing of your keyboard.

Hello,

This is possible in Firefox itself. Install Google Gears and Google toolbar.
Just right click on textbox of wiki (or any search site) . It shows “Generate Custom search” option. It gets added in Google toolbar. I tried it for rediff, wiki, yahoo…

Cheers Google!!

Windows can’t find ‘gpedit.msc’. Make sure you typed the name correct, and then try agian.

Not working…
