Did google use to be your homepage? Or were you typing in the top right hand box in Internet Explorer?

So when you opened your web browser you used to get tabs up that opens google?
if so then go to www.google.com and go to internet options and change it to your homepage.

altair...i had like the first pic you have on the top.except it said live search,not google. and then just below it, i had the one similiar in your second pic. and they were both on there at all times.

i just hate the way live search works compared to google.
