Internet Explorer 8 With Live Search Accelerators
The Internet Explorer team came up with Internet Explorer 8, which is geared up with a very useful feature called Live Search Accelerators. The Accelerators are likely to make web surfing much faster and easier!
Live Search Accelerators will enable users to perform their everyday browsing in terms of researching and shopping online quickly. Usually, what happens is that people have to go through a tedious process of browsing a number of websites in order to find relevant information. But, with the release of this feature, users will be able to compare prices of different products without crawling to other websites.
In order to experience this new feature, all you need to do is to install the latest version of the Internet Explorer and to select the Shop and Save with Live Search Products accelerator option.
Once you have installed, it’s all simple to use the feature! Say, if you want to know more about a particular place with this feature, you just need to highlight the place or address you are looking for and then click on the blue arrow from the “Map with Live Search†accelerator. To get more information about the place, click on the preview window, and you will view a more detailed map opened in a new tab in IE8.
Translate makes one more interesting feature that is offered by the accelerator. This feature offers web browsers a one-click translation of many common terms in other languages. In other words, whenever you find a foreign phrase in a particular site, you just need to highlight the term and click the blue arrow from the “Translate with Live Search†accelerator menu. Further, in order to change the translation in another language, click on the “Change Language†link at the top of the preview window and then select your preferred language.
Interesting! Just give it a try!

As you say, IE8’s accelerators are a simple and useful feature of the new version of their browser.
I wanted to make sure that your readers were aware that if they like IE8’s new “selection-based search†feature called Accelerators, that KallOut had already shipped a version of Accelerators for Firefox (see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10722 ).
NEWS ALERT: KallOut Accelerators for Firefox was shipped in the Firefox Public Directory on March 5, 2009
Since KallOut Accelerators for Firefox works as a browser add’-on, it is available for Mac, PC, Linux and KallOut also features all the best-of-breed sites on hte web in its context menu. I encourage you to check it out and predict that you will come to love its “BestGuess†search suggestions which are at the top of KallOut’s context menu that lists each of the sites that the user can send their selected text to as part of a search term.
This new category of “selection-based search†(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection-based_search ) has the possibility of becoming as important as search toolbars which now account for 10% of all searches (NOTE: roughly $2 billion in CPC revenue is derived from searches that start in search toolbars). In the same way that search toolbars allow consumers to search faster by avoiding going to Google’s home page, KallOut takes search outside the box by allowing your to search using only your mouse.
Please try the product out and see if you don’t find it extremely useful. And, once you’re comfortable with it in your Firefox browser, you can try out the Windows desktop version of KallOut that gives you the same functionality over IE6, IE7, Chrome, Word, Outlook, Powerpoint, Excel, Adobe Reader, etc. (NOTE: Our Mac desktop version will be out within six months).
Thanks,
