Hi hummerh11, you should be very careful when downloading free software from the Internet, nowadays the majority of freeware download websites are using download clients and installers which "offer" installation of additional free browser toolbars and add-ons together with the chosen free program. To remove the search-results.com redirect follow this removal guide.

To avoid such unwanted browser redirects be sure to be very attentive when downloading free software - always choose "custom" or "advanced" installation options and opt-out installation of any additional browser add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars.
