You're right... I guess MS didn't want us having a shortcut to using other search engines. :disgust:

no, before u could just type it in your web browser like if u wanted to search with yahoo u could type "yahoo 'itemyouaresearchingfor'" and it automatically searches it for u without having to go to their home page first. but i guess this works too. thanks :p

IE Web Accessories lets you use custom search URLs along with some built-in ones (e.g. I can type "ac YMMV" in my address bar and it will automatically search Acronym Finder). You may have to manually edit the URLs though, since some are outdated
