What has happened to all the Internet Explorer accelerators? Can only add Google Search now and not maps or translate?

Hi

Just had my new business laptop setup and I wanted to add the maps and translate by google accelerators for ease of use as I prefer them over Bing.  When going to the accelerator section of IE11 addons, it appears that I am redirect to the IE Gallery but it is lacking any accelerators; only contains search and tracking options.

Is someone able to tell me where they have gone and how I can get them back?

Many thanks,

Chris

    Arun - can you please move this back to Internet Explorer as that is where this question belongs; not in movie maker.  Also, can you actually answer the question as to how I can get the google accelerators back?

    That's strange, it was posted under internet explorer when I first posted it... oh well, can an admin please move?

    The accelerators was actually one of the most useful points of IE, and until EDGE improves dramatically as it is currently so feature castrated that it is pointless to use, the accelerators made IE bearable. 

    It would be great to get an official MS stance on this matter as quite frankly they've taken a really good feature away and not told anyone, well at least I cannot find anything posted in a blog or other official MS communication.

    EDIT: just looked at the details of my original post and Arun B J has moved the post from Internet Explorer to this new location for some reason... Completely wrong move as is related to IE.

    Arun,

    Instead of your #4, Select the "Find more..." link in the bottom left corner.

    This will bring up IE Gallery with a fixed list of only about 10 Add-ons to select.

    This web page USED TO HAVE MANY (hundreds?) of Accelerators to choose from, including Google Maps, and Translate with Google.

    Where did all the other options go?

    How does one install other NON-MICROSOFT Add-ons to IE for Mapping and Translation?
