Where Are The Previous Search Entries?

I had to rebuild my laptop with a new Windows 2000 Professional OS and other applications. I have my old hard drive (Windows 2000 Pro OS, IE 5.5, etc.) that contains a complete drive image and can be used to copy files. Where are the search parameters that I used in web pages that I access frequently? When I click in a search window on a web page I used to get a list of my previous entries and I want to copy this file(s) to my new hard drive.
