What's the big deal? It takes all of 5 seconds to change your router to use a different DNS if the search page offends you. It took me longer to type this message than make the change.
Funny thing you say that. A lot of PPoE routers do not let you specify/change DNS on PPPoE settings because IPCP feeds you the DNS servers.

My current DSL router, an Asante is one of those. Luckily I'm going back to college in a couple of days and I will be back on my RV082 and another ISP. However, my dad has already complained about the search page because he also does thing will he will type something in the address bar and it will taken him to Google.
