There are plenty of people who hate Microsoft Internet Explorer, but I am not one of them. I prefer it to Firefox, and Google Chrome. Maybe you’re one of those people, but here’s another reason not to be.
You can add a list of things to Internet Explorer 8 from here, but the real magic is a little deeper. Do you have a site you search frequently, but they haven’t yet created a handy little search tool for you to use? Have no fear, IE8 is here.
IE8 gives you the ability to easily add your own custom search to IE8. I promise. You don’t have to know how to write code, or crack software, or risk sites with popups. All you have to do is go here http://www.ieaddons.com/en/createsearch.aspx.
Search for TEST anywhere you like and copy and paste the results URL into the appropriate box. Give it a name, and cross your fingers. It should work.
It worked for me here here and now searching California Code is a snap.
It worked through the Westlaw citation search and now I can enter the appropriate citation and get Westlaw results in an instant.
It did not work with West’s Black’s Law Dictionary on the other hand.
2 out of 3 Not bad.
Enjoy.
