On Windows XP I also have the second searchbox....

The standard windows searchbox used when you press CTRL+F or F3 depends on what MSIE version you have installed (More specifically on the version of oleacc.dll I think *not verified*).

This hasn't got anything todo with Messenger Plus!. Messenger Plus! simply uses the MSIE browser component to display the chat logs in the Log Viewer, and therefore it also inherits MSIE's functions like this search box. So, Messenger Plus! can't do anything about it.

The 'new' search box was introduced in MSIE 8 afaik.

Also beware that 'downgrading' windows programs will not always install the complete previous versions of all the needed components of that program. If a newer component was found/already installed, it might not be overwritten with the old one. This to ensure compatibility in Windows in general and to avoid that you, by installing a program, you overwrite an up-to-date component with a buggy old one.

eg: many (good) installers will first check if a certain component has been installed and has a specific version number or above prior to installing that specific component. If so, that component will not be 'installed' but simply be skipped and the installer will move on to the next component to install for the program.

Other than that, the second style search box is more versitile, though the search starts immediatly it otherwise works in the exact same way. I don't see why you would want the first one though...
