Hi Everyone,

I found a neat and free utility that lets you create an "URL Alias" for web
pages that you frequent.

How does it work?

Instead of typing www.microsoft.com into IE's address box, you simply type
"ms" and hit Enter. The add-on understands that ms is an URL Alias and direct
your browser to the www.microsoft.com web page.

The web page above also offers another handy and free add-on utility that
might interest you as well.

Does anyone know of any better (and free) 3rd party add-ons that provide
this same or other useful capabilities to IE6/IE7?

Bye, thanks & good luck,

-JV

Tweak UI does that too. Internet Explorer Search
Or more directly it was facilitated by the IE5 Web Accessory: Quick Search.exe which probably still works.

Actually both are just means of editing the SearchURL branch in the registry.
