It works in IE 7 (that is if "works" is the right word – I mean IE7 is vulnerable).

Also when I was playing with IE7 noticed that despite already having Google as the default search engine Google popped up to ask me to set it to Google.

I said ok. And it reset the search engine to Google (i.e. it did nothing at all) and then directed me to:

http://www.google.com/options/defaultset.html

after running this exe:

http://www.google.com/ options/setie7defaultsearch.exe
