lol Looks like Google toolbar doesn't suggest misspell of Bing - GoFuckYourself.com

I gotta get around to uninstalling it, but just noticed something funny, when you type in a misspell domain in the address bar, the google search comes up with a suggestion of the proper site (eg. type in fart.co in the address bar, google will suggest fart.com).... but if you do the same thing with a misspell for Bing.com (try it with Bing.co) google does not suggest bing but instead just says "broken link, search on google?"

I have no idea why...

it goes both ways... google isnt an option for search by default in IE. even if you click 'find more providers...', google isn't even on the first page.

edit: this is for the search bar in the IE browser
