Adding Search to IE7

Search providers and plugins for IE7 and Firefox 2

Vista RC1

I'm currently reviewing Vista RC1 and IE7.  There are a few annoying things about Vista.  For example, I used to be able to set Connect to a menu choice, and then you could easily select the VPN you wanted.  However, in Vista, I haven't been able to set it to a menu choice, so you have to open a window and then select the VPN.

South Florida

Florida seems to be under some nasty weather.  I've looked into how to search on zip codes to get weather information so I could add a search to IE7 search but haven't really come up with anything.

Yelp

Yelp lets you to search near a location and find reviews of restaurants, venues, clubs, nightlife, parks, etc. This search is set to search Boca Raton, so you'll need to customize it for your own area.  The reviews are done by anybody, so they have a rapidly growing list.  I've added it to IE7 Search Providers.  I wish it had an RSS feed for the new reviews.

Copernic

Copernic is a meta search engine drawing on results from Google, Yahoo, Looksmart, and others. It has a downloadable tool, but I found a way to add search to IE7.  Copernic has a good reputation for making a desktop search tool, but I haven't tried it myself.

Browsing searches by TLD

It would be a useful feature to be able to browse for searches at Add Searches to IE7 by their top level domain.  This way you could easily see if someone had added a search for the UK, or even .net.  That would be a cool feature.
