Subject: Netscape Search Hack

Netscape Search Menu Item:

This is for all you people who DON'T like Netscape's built-in search menu
item and wish it pointed to a better search engine.  I saw a patch for
Netscape that fixed it to use AltaVista, but I thought people might want to
have more freedom of choice.  So here you go:

1.  Open a COPY of Netscape with ResEdit or similar utility.
2.  Open the "STR#" resource.
3.  Open resource ID 4000 (Directory URLs).
4.  In the string numbered 7, put the URL of the search engine you like to use.
5.  Quit ResEdit and save changes.
6.  Test the copy of Netscape to be sure it works.  If it works, replace
the old copy with your "fixed" copy.
7.  Ta-da!  The "Internet Search..." menu item in Netscape will now take
you to your favorite search engine.
8.  If you used this hack, send me some e-mail as a thank-you.  I can be
reached at
