Internet explorer cannot add search providers
Anyone know what to be done?

Add Search Provider
Add Search Provider dialog box.
If this particular search provider is already installed, you will get a dialog box saying so or you will get a dialog box with options to upgrade that provider. For example, the search provider may offer search suggestions now where it did not before.
The second way to add a search provider is by discovery. After the provider's Web page loads, the drop-down arrow on the Instant Search box turns orange, indicating that a search provider can be installed.
When you click the orange drop-down arrow, a list of the search providers that are installed and other available options is displayed. A golden icon appears to the left of the search provider's name that Internet Explorer 8 discovered. When you click the Add Search Providers option, a list of the available providers is displayed. The following picture shows the Live Search options: Products, Images, and Videos.
Adding Your Own Search Provider
If your search provider does not provide a direct way for you to add it as a search provider, you can still add it manually. Follow the instructions on the Windows Search Guide page to create your own search provider. Note that this widget adds the provider only as a search provider without search suggestions. If you know that the provider offers search suggestions, use the search provider's Web site to add the provider.
hope this helps you.

Which sitee you try to add search provider ? Do you use any browser cloaking devices?
I had same problem. I solved the problem with installing IE7 Custom Google. I must say that IE7 is a catastrophic piece of software. I had my computer twice restart while installation, which took 20 minutes with 1 gig of RAM. When I installed the Opera browser, it was downloaded in 15 seconds, and installed in 10 minutes.
The problem in my case was caused by shdocvw.dll being entered in a registry key instead of ieframe.dll.
I resolved this by performing the following steps:
1. Open the registry editor by going to Start Menu\Run and entering "Regedit" and pressing the "okay" button.
2. Go to the following location: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\0\win32
3. Right click on the entry in the right pane of the registry editor (default), select 'modify'. Enter C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieframe.dll as its data
4. Exit Registry Editor.
Now, when you go to the add-on gallery, a window will pop up allowing you to download and install the new search provider when you click on the "add to internet explorer" button on the website.
