Hello there and nice to see you on 2spyware forum!

You are infected with Searchnu redirection virus, it doesn't let you search anything. In addition, this parasite can hardly be uninstalled through Add/Remove Programs list, so run a full system scan with anti-malware program which will remove searchnu redirection files for you. Moreover, if you have it without your consent, that means you're infected with trojan dropper that installed this file. We have already tested this virus and recommend using SpyHunter that removes this redirection virus completely. Additionally, you will need to remove browser plugins. Here's steps to do that:

For Internet Explorer

Toolbar can be removed from add/remove programs list which is located in control panel.
Toolbar in Interent Explorer must be remove from the internet explorer add-ons list, which is located under the tools tab in the explorer. the you need to set other search engine as a default one and remove "search results" line.
To Remove Home page, you need to go to the explorer settings, tools tab, selects internet options and general tab there. Change the searchnu[.]com url to the page you like to start with.

For Mozilla Firefox

Open Mozilla Firefox. Click on the magnifying glass search icon and select Manage Search Engines. remove "search results" line there.
go to browser tools tab, them Options and general tab. Reset you home page there. There will be searchnu[.]com page, change it to the page you want firefox to start.
In the URL address bar, type about:config and hit Enter. In the filter at the top, type: keyword.URL. and delete search-results.com there. The string value can be changed to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=

For Google Chrome

Click on Customize and control Google Chrome icon and select Settings. Choose basic options there and change the searchnu[.]com url to the page you like to start with.
press manage search engines button and make the default search engine google.com there. Also delete "search results" line from the list.
