Want dedicated Search Bar back in Internet Explorer 9

I loathe IE9. First of all, when I upgraded, I lost my preference set - meaning the 8 tabs that automatically come up when I start IE. This was so automatic, I couldn't remember everything I'd had! What a crock! I can't stand the look of it anyway - something about it seems odd and less user-friendly than IE8.

Now we don't even have a search bar! There are times when I'm looking at a page and would like to open another tab and search for something. In Chrome, not only can I highlight something on a page but I have an option to have Chrome open another tab and search - all with one click. There is no such option in IE. Now I have to highlight the item on the page, click to open a new tab, paste to the address bar, press Enter (because even that isn't automatic)...it's a HUGE step backwards.

While there are definitely things not to like about Chrome, this search feature is enough to ruin IE for me. What in the world were those idiots thinking?
