[Web4lib] IE 7 search providers/search menu

[Adam Brin]

Stacey,
	we set it up with our opac: http://tripod.brynmawr.edu .  One
Open Search file works with both IE7 and Firefox 2. Works great.

We've added and tested a number of library databases w/this feature -- quite a number of them work  -- and we'd like to prepopulate a selection of library databases in the IE 7 search  menu on our public computing lab image and faculty/staff image. Microsoft provides a mechanism for populating search providers via the registry. Has anyone tried this feature or considered using it? Has anyone tested FireFox 2's search engine manager (hoping it does something similar)?
