My question is: is it possible to edit some dll/exe/whatever to remove
this behavior (so apart from methods like adding your own
auto.search.msn.com
record in your dns server [or hosts] and firewalling the whole msn stuff).

Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Do not search from the Address bar.

PSS: Some users (including me) are panicing and switching (back) to NS.

The last version of netscape I used was 4.7, I'm pretty sure it did
something similar. Certainly Konqueror and Mozilla do, and, as with IE, it
is pretty easy to turn the feature off.
