HOWTO: Internet Explorer quick search In IE5.x you could lookup MS knowledge base articles quickly by typing: "MSKB q123455" without quotes in the address bar. In ie6 it is removed, but it is a feature! Which can be enabled in IE and not only for MS KB but any search site. save underneath text in regfile and merge it. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\MSKB] @="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=%s" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\AV] @="http://www.altavista.com/sites/search/web?q=%s" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\Ggl] @="http://www.google.com/search?q=%s" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\MSN] @="http://search.msn.com/results.asp?q=%s" |
afaik, is this right? go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\ << shortcut >> ] and create there a string with the desired url, right? |
correct :) |
copy paste in notebook + save as .reg REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\Google] @="http://www.google.com/search?q=%s" bummer it doesn't work :( still searches with msn |
did you reboot ? you have to use "Google searchword" in the titlebar , with the key you imported |

In IE6 you can lookup MS knowledge base articles quickly by typing: "google MSKB q123455" without quotes in the address bar. |
uhm not quite :p if you imported the keys from the 1st post you just need to enter "MSKB q123456" :leet: |
IE6 imported regfile with "google" - string (google in stead of "Ggl" mentioned in first post - doesn't influence the result but more appropriate naming) 1) address bar -> fill in "madshrimp" result = msn search 2) address bar -> fill in "google madshrimp" result = google search :D |
