Adding New Domain Suffixes to Internet Explorer’s Search Capability


Here is a great way to extend Internet Explorer's autosearch functionality. Normally, when you type a single keyword on the Address line in IE and hit enter, it'll search for the .com, .edu, then .org registrations until it finds a match. Well, you can edit and add to that list! You'll need to dive into the registry, so this is for advanced users ONLY: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\UrlTemplate. From there, you can arrange the numbers to your liking as well as add different domain hierarchies. I personally added the .net extension to my list, but .co.uk, .co.nz, .com.au, or even .nl would work, too.
