A few days ago, iGoogle officially went offline and with that, Dell's start page for their native browser.

Dell's Google Start Page

You've all seen this page. The moment you turn on a new Dell computer, open up Internet Explorer, the default home page goes to this Dell branded Google search portal.

It was powered by iGoogle and was accessible to all at www.google.com/ig/dell‎ that is until iGoogle went offline on November 1, 2013.

Now, when you go to www.google.com/ig/dell‎ you are redirected to the Google home page. The Google search box, with no Dell branding at all.

Folks in the Google Web Search Help forums are asking where it went:

I had a home page that was google/dell for years and now it will not come up anymore how do I get it back?
