    I just was able to make it work.  I had added another entry to the list called TEST that used Google search.  I deleted the entry called Google, but forgot to delete the entry called TEST.  I deleted that and then tried your method and it worked!  I did have to go to google.com and enter a search, but when I did it added Google to the list of entries.  I set it as the default address search engine and it seems to be working fine.  Thanks!
