google.com/ie ?

While i was trying to index all the pages from google.co.in, i found google.com/ie and google.co.in/ie ! when i tried to click it i got a google search page that looked like below.Well does anyone of you have any idea of what purpose this special kind of search engine used ?

when i tried to search in it i got some unformatted results, i could say that i got only the title of results not the description. You can watch the live site at either
www.google.com/ie
or
www.google.co.in/ie
And please reply your feedback … The search box doesnt have a fixed width, and the google logo is small, is that a test server or what ? What i could see is only a google toolbar ad which when clicked re-directs to toolbar download page, maybe i think its a starting page for prompting Internet Explorer users to download Google Toolbar.

    This has been around for awhile. You might notice in older version of IE you could set the search, when you choose google this is what came up in the sidebar if you do a google search for “http://google.com/ie” you will get some info.

  2. This is the Google version of the Search pane in Internet Explorer.

    Start IE. Press Ctrl E (or select View -> Explorer Bar -> Search).

    That’s where this webpage is supposed to go.

  3. yeah thats right,
