This is one of the few things with IE7 that was lacking. The Default search box is very weak. This inline search should be simple to impliment and the Highlight feature is very valuable. I think it would be a very big mistake to pass this up for IE7 final. Andrew Ed,

Anyway to get the IE team to add this in for the final release? Paul, Too bad the attributes it does not render properly are nonexistent on the web in any substantial numbers. Need I remind you of Firefox's poor showing in Standards Support and Acid2? www.FirefoxMyths.com Firefox Extensions are IMO highly overrated. I spend all my time simply adding extensions that now come default in other browsers just to make it useable. Awesome find Ed. Anyway to get the IE team to add this in for the final release?

Paul,

The only thing good about Firefox is its rendering engine capabilities and addons. The IE7 team will catch up sooner or later on standards, but as of today Firefox has a complete ecosystem of most of the web tasks a person does online with its addons. Take a look for Live Writer for instance, it isn't exactly a world-shaking application, but quite useful with its base functions and the rich set of plugins developers are writing.
