Right, someone trying to convince me why Firefox is so much better than IE brought up the issue of being able to type "google searchterm" into his Adress bar and immediately being taken to the site.
Well, here's some news: IE can do that to, along with imdb, whois, vandale, php and everything else that uses parameters as query terms.
I have uploaded a .reg file which contains altavista, astalavista, cd, download, google, googlenl, imdb, php, sub, vandale, vcd and whois as search terms. Feel free to invent more :)
