In Jaguar (10.2), the system default search page is not accessible in the Internet prefs pane, and is set as excite.com/apple. This pref can still be changed, however, by opening the Internet Control panel in Classic. At the top, select "Mac OS X" as the "active set" and click on the "web" tab. Now you can change botb the the default search page, as well as several other system preferences which are no longer accessable through the OS X System Preferences.
[Editor's note: I was definitely able to set the search page this way, but I'm not sure what effect it might have had -- can anyone confirm that this does, indeed, work as expected and changes the search page in OS X apps?]
