Also new in Internet Explorer: one-stop search

My review of Internet Explorer 7.0 and Firefox 2.0 (in the latest print edition of Legalese) left out an important common feature of both browsers. Both IE and Firefox include a search box on the right side of the toolbar that can be customized to access numerous search engines in addition to Google or Yahoo. For example, you can query Wikipedia, USA Today, eBay, or Amazon directly from your browser simply by installing the plug-ins for those sites.

To add search additional engines to your browser, click on the links below:
Please note: Firefox has always had this feature, but if you use Internet Explorer, you will need to install the new version. The search plug-ins do not work with earlier versions of IE.
