What you are doing is clearing any possible bad code stuck in IE history that may be stopping the page from loading correctly.
I am running IE10 and just typed in geekstogo in my address bar and it went right to www.geekstogo.com with no issue.
Therefore the issue is either your IE or your System. Since any other browser works fine then I have to believe it is IE at this point. If it is all browsers then it may be a hidden infection stopping the search and redirect to the right website.

How did you fix the search bar issue?
Open IE and at the top click on Tools and then click on Internet Options
When that window opens then on the first page which should be the General tab you should see in the middle of the window a button that says Tabs
Click that and you will get a new window. In the middle you should see a button marked When a new tab is opened, open:
That drop down menu should have 3 options in it that say:
  • A blank page
  • The new tab page
  • Your first home page


I'm willing to bet it is set for a blank page. Change it to one of the other two and see if that resolves the issue.

There you have it, I've tried the three of them and none of them worked.

I see no images. You also provided no response to my other question on how you resolved the search bar issue. I can replicate your issue by simply putting the tab open setting to blank page.
You have to make sure to Apply the setting once you change it. I tried without applying and it did not work.
