Poll: Amazing job I bet nobody ever knew in IE 5.5! [poll] [yahoo]
Q: Go to your address field and type a name as the website or yahoo or vomiting but dont add. Com or http:// just type the site. Then instead of pressing Enter Ctrl + Enter. There you have it, IE automatically adds http://www. and. com to. Unbelievable huh?
Re:hehe nice tip, another keyboard shortcut that'll amaze people
Re:The ctrl+enter thing is such an old feature…
But guy's tip is new to me. Going to try it out. Thanks.
Re:And if you get the IE 5 power tools, you can search any of your favorite search engines directly from the toolbar:
type in:
g l33t t00184r s34rch1n9
and it automatically goes to the google results page for "l33t t00184r s34rch1n9"
y l33t t00184r s34rch1n9
goes to the yahoo results page for the same, etc.
Re:You don't even have to push ctrl+enter, just type in 'yahoo'. It tries the TLD's in the most logical order.. .com, .net, .org, .edu, etc.. You can also do this w/ the DNS "Domain Suffix Search Order" in your TCP/IP properties.
Re:Damn! You guys discovered my secret 133+ trick!
Re:Actually I normally just type yahoo.com etc but that will save me 4 key strokes
Re:That's new to me too – good post
<< Oh man, I was so exuberant when I discovered it! I ran around Santa Monica naked for an hour >>

Re:Another cool feature is you can start typing in one of your book marks…then it will finish it, hit enter and you go to your bookmarked site
Re:That's a really old feature. IE 5.0 supports it.
Re:Works for most sites in Netscape 4.76. No biggie.
