Search hijack?

After accidently only typing part of a url into the address bar, I was taken to an AIM search page, with the search request being the word. After testing it, this is true for any words, I get redirected to:
http://aim.search.aol.com/search/search?&query=test&invocationType=tb50fftrab

Where test was the search query. But with IE8, doing the same thing and just typing 'test' into the address bar takes me to a google result for the same word.

This isn't a major problem or anything, as I never really do this except by accident, but it would still be nice to knock firefox back to using google as IE does. I do use AIM which is where I guess FF got the behaviour, but I made sure to uncheck all the toolbars and stuff during installation, and surely it would target IE, and not firefox?
