Description
The first results of a search for high energy neutrinos in excess of the atmospheric neutrino background, both from any sky direction and from 26 known sources, using 9 strings of IceCube are presented. We summarize also the results of AMANDA-II from 2000 to 2006. The expected performance of future configurations of the growing IceCube detector are discussed
