Searching the PEG, Mark II
Published May 31st, 2006 in Progress
I’ve downloaded the lastest, open beta of IE 7 to mess around with and it seems that the IE team have learned a thing or two from Firefox’s success. In particular, they’ve developed a remarkably familiar looking search box at the top of the screen, next to the address box. I use that box a lot in Firefox, so much so that I’ve hacked up some simple plug-ins to extend the choice of engines, including plugins for searching the PEG.
Well, it turns out that the IE7 version is extensible too, although naturally they use a different “standard” format the the Firefox “standard” format. So I’ve knocked up a bunch of similar plugins for the IE 7 search box. Click on the following links to install whichever plugin(s) takes your fancy.
