Cameron's Thoughts: Now With Internet Explorer 7 Search Support

I had previously posted about the Mozilla search plugin I created for this site. That will work in any Mozilla based browser such as Netscape or Firefox. Now, if you check the plugin page, I also have a search plugin that works in the upcoming Internet Explorer 7. I didn't have to actually 'create' this as Microsoft actually did something really smart and their search box supports OpenSearch. As this site is already has OpenSearch 1.1 setup, I just have to create a link for IE to see the OpenSearch description document. For more info on how to point IE to this, check out the IE7 search provider directory.
