Add myITforum Search to IE7

One of the cool features of IE7 is that you can easily add any new search provider to your search bar.  I use myITforums Forums search quite a bit when finding answers to problems to I created my own search provider for searching their forums.

To do this go to this page:

https://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/searchguide/en-en/default.mspx#

On the right hand side their will be instructions for creating your own search provider.  In step 3, past the following URL:

https://www.myitforum.com/forums/searchpro.asp?phrase=TEST&author=&forumid=ALL&topicreply=both&message=body&timeframe=%3E&timefilter=0&language=single&top=300&criteria=AND&minRank=0&sortMethod=r&submitbutton=+OK+

In step 4, name it something like myITForum Forums and then click on Install in Step 5.

Now you have a new search provider listed in the drop down box that will search the myITforum's Forums!

Rod and Ron, you all should download this XML file and put it on your site!
