Adding MOSS Search to IE7


The following registry file can be used to add MOSS search to the list of IE7 search providers ... so you can access it from the top right search box.

(Rename xxxx with the name of your MOSS machine)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Intranet]
"DisplayName"="Search Intranet"
"URL"=http://xxxx/searchcenter/pages/search_results.aspx?k={searchTerms}&s=Intranet

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\People]
"DisplayName"="Search people"
"URL"="http://xxxx/searchcenter/pages/people_results.aspx?k={searchTerms}"
Save the contents to a text file and rename to a .REG suffix. Then double click the file to invoke it.
