After recently reinstalling windows I now find that iegallery does not offer the create your own search provider any more - get a 404 if you use the old link. So how can I add google.ie to IE9, only options searching iegallery are .com, .co.uk but no .ie TIA edit had a brainwave to search the registry and found the entry for it. HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerSearch Scopes and find the entry for the google search url
