Not sure about in IE 5.x, but in 6 you can go to Internet Options, Advanced,
and almost at the very bottom is "Search from the Address bar". You can
change this to be "Do not search from the Address bar". I, too, was alarmed
when IE suggested other sites I should visit instead of showing me a real
error message.

When you type a non-existing domain name in internet explorer
you get redirected to some auto.search.msn.com thing....
I don't know when this was introduced, but AFAIK this was in
IE5 and not in IE4... Anyway, normally you get some (stupid)
general error page (from your local hd?).. but now you really get a
page online:
