I saw a demo internally today of a new feature in Live Search that I liked. Apparently you can now start searching in IE8âs search bar and you might get an âinstant answerâ as a suggestion immediately.
Â
Itâll even do things like arithmetic đ
BTW⌠in case you didnât know, the âsearch suggestionâ feature is implemented using OpenSearch, so itâs not specific to Internet Explorer. Hereâs the âsuggestionâ feature on Firefox. It works with Google as well. However, the âinstant answersâ seems to have been implemented only by IE8 as far as I am aware (but itâs open to others).
Â
Update: Apparently the feature is available only in the US at this stage đ
