My IE8 Zune Social Accelerators and Search Provider

 IE8 Zune

I made 3 Accelerators to interact with Zune Social right into IE8:

* For some reasons Microsoft has removed my Zune Accelerators. Sorry about that.

Also a Search Provider to search for Songs, Artists and Albums on Zune Social:

  • Laurent,

    I agree with you that the killer feature in IE-8 is "selection-based search" or Accelerators. Those Zune and image accelerators you wrote are the bomb. The big problem with Accelerators, IMO, is that the user has to figure out which one to apply to his selection. It’s just unusable once you get more than two or three.

    The version of selection-based search which I love is KallOut. www.KallOut.com

    KallOut already works over IE (the older versions) and Firefox (my favorite) as well as all of office.

    What IE8 Beta really needs is a way for the application to automatically choose which accelerator you need to use for a given mouse-based search request. Kallout already does this with its “Best-Guess” feature.

    I downloaded the Kallout application from CNET but its main site is www.kallout.com

  • Great concept / thanks.
