Enable Google Search From Address Bar in IE

[Ramirez]

I am using Dell laptop and IE7 is installed in it for browsing. I want to make Google search from address bar. When I want search anything, I have to wait for Google.com. I have slow internet connection so that loading Google site takes more time. Is there any way to make address bar as search box?

Click on advanced tab, and under setting section and search for Search from the Address bar section. To enable search from the Address bar, select display the results in the main window option. After completing this press on OK button.
