Would the variable

$IE.Silent = 1

instead of

$IE.visable = 1

run Explorer in the background in this script?
code:
 Break On

Do 
 ?"Enter search term> " gets $term
Until $Term 

$URL = "http://216.239.39.101/"

$IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

$IE.visable = 1

$IE.Navigate($URL)

While $IE.Busy and $IE.ReadyState <> 4 and @ERROR = 0 Loop

$IE.Document.getElementById("q").Value = $Term

$IE.Document.GetElementById("BtnG").Click()

Exit 0
