Just updated to v. 6.0 (running under Windows XP SP3). I now get a 404 error ("The requested URL /cse?cx=partner-pub-3540673482024757%3Ac8hkjv-9xef&q=firefox&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t was not found on this server") when entering a Google search in the standard Search Bar, but have no problems with any of the other sites available in the Search Bar pulldown. What gives?

Thanks - I had assumed the previous incarnation would survive the update... apparently it didn't. But it was easy to add another Google service back into the Search Bar.
