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!
