I just installed IE 7 on my home computer. We were asked to not install either IE7 or Firefox 2 at work. Security issues. A problem I'm finding in a big organization is that the Systems people will say "don't do this--security issues." But they have no motivation to get the problem resolved, so it's generally up to someone else to push the matter. Well, I'll wait a few weeks or a couple of months for the initial glitches to get ironed out before I push.
In the meantime, I thought I needed to see the new browsers to be caught up professionally, so I said "yes" to Microsoft's installation update.
After the update, I was asked: what do you want to set up as your default provider. When I responded with "let me see what ya' got," I got a list--and I could use the list for both the default provider and the ones that show up in the drop-down box.
I selected Clusty for the default. Using the recent spate of comments Walt Crawford received to the question "What's on your Firefox search dropdown?" as inspiration, I also added:
I couldn't get the Creative Commons search to add to the list. To add search providers to the search dropdown box in IE7, you do a search in the search engine on the word TEST. Then paste the results URL into the Create Your Own box. Creative Commons appears to be using some kind of AJAX software, so the URL doesn't change and IE7 doesn't recognize it as a results page that it can use.
