Bing with suggestions

I have to admit the new Microsoft search Bing is just great! I love the search suggestions and web slices it shows. Also it's really nice to see video results without leaving the Bing search site! After a week of use I can say Bing will replace (for me) Google. IF it get's localized properly, now there are a few issues but most localized versions are still in beta stage so it's admitted ;-)

You can download the IE8 search provider here: http://www.ieaddons.com/en/details/searchhelpers/Bing_Search/

But beware! If you have setup IE8 to use another language then English (Tools-Internet Options-Languages), search suggestions and other neat Bing stuff will not work. You have to change this manually.

1. Open regedit
2. Browse to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes
3. In the subkeys of the above key search for a key where the URL string value is equal to www.bing.com
4. Open up the SuggestionsURL string value and replace {language} with en-us (it will now look like: http://api.bing.com/qsml.aspx?query={searchTerms}&market=en-us&form=IE8SSC&maxwidth={ie:maxWidth}&rowheight={ie:rowHeight}§ionHeight={ie:sectionHeight})
5. Close regedit and fire up IE8 and you'll have search suggestions!

Have fun with it, it's really awesome!
