Playing with Search Providers

  • Artículo

As I spend seriously scary amounts of my life searching Microsoft.com and related properties, I threw together some OpenSearch thingummyjigs to search from the IE7 Search Box Thing.

I'm still unconvinced that they're more effective than just typing site:something.microsoft.com in every query (I don't have to take my hands off the keyboard to do that), but it was a fun learning exercise.

    Ctrl+E to search! Alt+D for Address Bar!

    A very cool web site http://www.OpenSearchList.com lets you review, customize and add searches using the method you outline here.  Give it a try!
