Inline Search Add-on - make IE search like Firefox

tip from CC, review from ClifNotes, Nov 2006, permalink _ Browser Tools

I like the inline search in FireFox. You simply hit CTRL-F and start typing the words you are searching for on a web page. The inline search will automatically highlight the first words as you are typing and the highlight will continue to jump around the page as you change the search words.

Now you can get the same inline search in Internet Explorer. I installed it and I think it's a keeper. The one flaw my wife caught was that CTRL-F needs to be executed on every tab, unlike Firefox.

Quote from the website
Inline Search v 1.3 is an extremely useful free add-on for Internet Explorer that mimics Firefox's search behavior. It turns searching in a web page into a non modal research experience coupled with a find as you type facility. It integrates flawlessly into IE (version 5.5 or above), giving it that little extra that makes you a lot more efficient when you are looking for a specific piece of information.
