Question: I updated to IE8 the other day on my Vista laptop, mostly because Windows Update kept bugging me about it. As a Chrome user, I don't really care so much about IE8, but I do have to use it occaisionally to test website compatibility.

At any rate, flash seems to be completely deactivated, and I don't see a place to re-enable it anywhere in the preferences. I've done a bit of googling on the issue, but only found information about how to disable flash, not how to actually enable it.

I have the flash 10 debug player installed, and it works fine with Chrome and Firefox. What could be the matter?

Answer: 
If you use the -site: directive in your searches it will not list them

I'm not sure how to make it permanent though
It is possible with Google Chrome if you append it as a custom search engine and make it the default. 

Something like [this](https://superuser.com/questions/1205/search-box-in-chrome/1320#1320).
