Enhanced Searching

Like Mozilla's latest release, IE 7 also offers multiple searches via a large grouping of search engines, encyclopedias, etc. While both browsers allow you to add more search engines from a predefined list, it is much easier to create your own in IE as opposed to Firefox. Microsoft provides a few easy steps to install your own search engines, while Mozilla requires you to create an OpenSearch plug-in to achieve the same result.
