IE Search bar keeps vanishing?

My internet explorer search bar keeps vanishing for

several days. This time it has been gone for two weeks.

I can't find out anything in the help topics. I use

win xp. IE 6.0

What is going on?

If you are using IE (and really, why haven't you switched to Mozilla Firefox?) and you don't have a Yahoo toolbar, then go to Internet Options, go to Contents tab, Click on Autocomplete and Clear Forms.

If you have Mozilla (congrats, you have a safer and more stable browser), just go to Tools/Options/Privacy/Saved Forms and clear forms.
