Google added a new logo and sidebar to the search recently
(Everything, Images, News, Books, etc). It doesn't work with IE6
natively since Google serves up the old search results page and logo
for this browser. I thought if I enabled Chrome Frame for all google
sites using the registry hack, it might show the updated Google
homepage and search results, but it doesn't. It still serves the old
"Show options..." sidebar AND now, with Chrome Frame enabled, the
sidebar is broken (clicking Show options... does nothing).
Is there any way to fix this so that Google serves up the new logo and
search results page to IE6 running Chrome Frame?

If I understand this right, the sidebar is a Google Toolbar feature.
Currently the toolbar does not make any special use of Chrome Frame if
installed. Since it does not recognize pages loaded in chrome frame, it is
expected that the sidebar is not functional for those pages. Loading pages
in chrome frame is kind of like using Acrobat Reader to view PDF documents
so features of other Internet Explorer toolbars or plugins won't work for
them.

Sorry I don't mean the actual browser sidebar. I'm talking about the
new "sidebar" on Google's search results page. It is something they
rolled out a couple weeks ago and it works with any browser except IE
6 since Google serves the old page to this browser. They also changed
the logo to brighter colors and made the buttons on the homepage blue.

If you're using the OptInURLs (and it sounds like you are), you should
continue to see many pages behave in ways that are erratic. This is
NOT a supported mechanism and is not generally recommended for
browsing sites that have not explicitly opted into GCF-based
rendering. In particular, you should expect Google properties to
provide modern-browser support to GCF-enabled versions of IE when they
themselves begin to set the meta tag or header.

So essentially you're saying Google isn't supporting their own plugin,
and until they do, GCF will still not work right on google sites?

I'm saying that GCF is working as designed. It allows web properties
to transition at a rate that makes sense *for those sites* without
breaking backward compatibility. If you'd like a fully-modern web
experience, I highly recommend that you install and use Chrome
instead.
