Id like the search bar and address bar to be again divided. Ill explain...

Lets say I want to search for some text I find on a page. I perfer and find it faster to write the text in the search box, open a tab and then hit search. This way the current tab stays open and I have a new search.

if I understand correctly:

Previously you copy and pasted the text into the search bar, open a new tab, and click search.

Now you have to copy the text, open a new tab, paste it into the search bar and hit enter.

...and this is a problem?

:huh:

[edit]...ah in your example you don't use cut and paste. It kinda makes sense. I guess.

[edit2] Think of what it would look like if they separated the address bar and the search bar. :pinch:

You could just highlight the text and press the blue button that appears....

Much quicker. ;)

Have you tried getting the search accelerator for whichever engine you use? You can just highlight and right-click to search in a new tab then.

There are a bunch for different search engines in the gallery here: http://www.ieaddons.com/en/search-helpers/

Is there any ways to add and pin websites to the about:tabs page?

I've just been pinning them to the jumplist.

can anyone explain this a bit more clearly HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Safety\PrivacIE\FilteringMode

am i suppose to create a new folder under PrivacIE name it to FilteringMode and then a new DWORD and set it to 1?

Does the inprivatemode filter out the stupid ads in youtube? i know with adblock on firefox i don't have to watch those 30 sec ads before i view some vid nor do i have those stupid banner ads at the bottom of the video.

Also basic mouse gesture support would be a nice addon such as back forward/next tab/previous tab

Also does anyone know what gpu's will offer the hardware acceleration?

You can just follow the same instructions for IE9 that you did for IE8 , but you have to edit the reg file so that instead of StartMode it says FilteringMode.

...also this is off topic.

more on topic:

I really wish the tab bar was below the address bar.

Home favorites and menu can stay where they are.

Hi,

I asked this question in one other of the numerous IE9 threads but that seemed to be the thread for when it was released so I didn't get a reply. Hopefully someone here can answer this question as I'm stuck!

Is anyone else having problems with the new search/address bar combined into one? I'm missing something very obvious I feel as I just can't work it out.

How do I search? I just want a google search for "prefered" so I type that in and press enter. It takes me to a webpage telling me the definition of prefered. I want a google search for Neowin so I type that in and it takes me here.

Is the only way to actually type in www.google.com and then type in preferred into google? It doesn't seem like a search box if I have to do that. The few times I manage to actually get it to search it displays the results page for only a brief time then goes back to the main google.com.

I'm obviously doing something wrong so please educate me!

Thank you.

Watch out for what the address bar displays, once you've typed your search term. If you've previously visited a website whose domain name includes your search term, IE 9 will try to auto-complete the web address for you. All you need to do is press 'delete' or 'backspace' once you've entered your search term and it will delete any other text; you can then press 'enter' and you should see search results for your term. It doesn't take up any more time; it took me a split-second to hit 'delete' then 'enter'.

EDIT: By the way, if this annoys you, you can always turn auto-complete off :) If you'd like me to tell you how, just let me know.

Thank you for replying and the suggestion, however it is (unfortunately) not the case of it auto completing. I just searched for something I have never searched for before - "Dinosaur". Before pressing I even made sure that was the only thing in the address bar. Upon pressing enter it disaplys a google address for a split second then goes to the wikipedia site for Dinosaur. It's almost like when I press enter it's doing the Google "I'm feeling lucky" search and not a normal search.

Any ideas at all?

I appreicate your help. Thank you :)

Thank you for the suggestions but they do not work in my case

I dont copy and paste into the search bar; I type it manually. When I search for something, example "boat", I dont search for the term boat I usually search for "what does boat mean" or a similar sentence so the S.As dont work either.

Thats why I perfer them to be seperate.

You can add Wiki as search provider and you'll get visual suggestions based on what you're typing. :)

...a different development cycle. Running a 2 yr dev cycle on a browser is insane as corporates cannot afford these massive rollouts of new platforms every 2yrs. Hence most corporates are STILL stuck on IE6 and have put plans in place to upgrade to ie 7 or 8. Any loser can see the problem with this. MS just FAIL with ie constantly. This version has already failed for the above reason already and it's not even released.

it's also missing an "uninstall this useless POS and replace with chrome" button :p

Also, 9 is an upside down 6. :woot:

More HTML 5 element support.

FlashBlock

Apart from that i dont know what is missing. From my prospective, IE were never meant for Heavy Net surfers. ( I hope it is not anyway ), casual Internet users hardly open more then 5 tabs at a time. Even though they do they were properly doing it without knowing it.

And that is why having Tabs on the right doesn't matter. However for me, where i have more then 20+ tabs opened at any time. I dont think IE will turn me away from Opera, Chrome and Firefox.

Why do I see people keep bringing up IE's release cycle? IE9 from the start has been on a 8 week dev process, look at the release dates for the PPs, (beta = PP5 which you could get right now as well if you just want to see the rendering engine and not the whole browser). It's logical then to expect beta 2 in another 8 weeks, so Nov. Then we'll take it from there, dunno if they'll do a beta 3 or go to RC1 like with IE8 so only time will tell.

There are two easy ways to do this: 1) Hit Ctrl-E for search and type it in, or 2) Type "?" before your search query. for example "? blueberries" will search for blueberries using your default provider instead of showing your history.

Also, why does everyone keep saying they wish for addon/extensions? IE has had them for years.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
