The assertion that "There's no way to pick an alternative search engine
which you might prefer, such as Google" is incorrect. The Microsoft
Knowledge Base Article 198279 documents "How to change the default
AutoSearch search page"
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;198279). The
procedure documented in the article involves editing a registry key,
which is hard for the common user, but which can be implemented easily
when an ISP is customizing IE for its customers. Users can also download
a "toolbar".
