You know in FF you can type something like monkey into the addressbar and FF will bring you to the most relevant page or to the search results? Well for people who like IE better I've made it a little easier to put this feature in IE.

1.Go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/searchguide/en-uk/default.mspx?dcsref=http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx in Internet Explorer 7
2. In the right hand side there is a section labeled "Create your own"
In the first field copy this url and paste it into it http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=TEST
3. In the second type Google Fetch or Firefox Fetch or similar.
4. Press install
5 Click the dropdown arrow on the searchbox on theright of IE
Go to "set search defaults"
6. Select Firefox Fetch and click "set default"
7 enjoy
