Search Providers

By default, the Instant Search box found in Internet Explorer enables users to perform searches using Microsoft’s Bing engine. However, you can add other search engines such as Google and Webopedia to quickly use these services to find what you are looking for.

To add search providers to the Instant Search List, do the following:

1. Open Internet Explorer.

2. Click the down arrow on the right side of the Instant Search box and then, from the context menu, select Find More Providers.

3. Click the Add to Internet Explorer button for one of the Web Search or Topic Search providers.

4. If you want the selected provider to replace Bing as the IE default, select the Make this my default search provider checkbox. If you want the

provider to provide suggestions as you type searches, select the Use search suggestions from this provider checkbox. Then click Add to add the selected provider to the Instant Search list.

5. To add a search provider that does not appear on the page, click the Create your own search provider link at the bottom of the page to open the Create your own search provider page.

Cram Exam Answers

1. D is correct. If you go into Advanced settings from Internet Options, you can configure IE to automatically delete their temporary files. Answer A is incorrect because the Recycle Bin is a temporary place to hold delete files. It does not actually delete files. Answer B is incorrect because configure zones do not delete temporary files. Answer C is incorrect because you cannot configure the Task Scheduler to delete temporary files when you close Internet Explorer.

2. C is correct. Websites designed for earlier versions of Internet Explorer might not display correctly in the current version. Often, you can improve how a website looks in Internet Explorer by using Compatibility View. Answer A is incorrect because an accelerator is a form of selection-based search that enables a user to invoke an online service from any other page using only the mouse. Answer B is incorrect because a SmartScreen Filter includes protection from socially engineered malware, which helps identify sites that have been labeled as an imposter or harmful (in other words, phishing). Answer D is incorrect because RSS enables a user to read RSS-distributed content on a different site using IE.

3. B is correct. Internet Explorer’s protected mode is a feature that makes it more difficult for malicious software to be installed on your computer. In addition, it enables users to install wanted software when they are logged in as a standard user instead of an administrator. Answer A is incorrect because the InPrivate Browsing enables you to surf the Web without leaving a trail in Internet Explorer. Answer C is incorrect because parental control is used to help keep children safer online, including restricting websites inappropriate for children. Answer D is incorrect because Compatibility View is used to allow websites that do not display correctly in Internet Explorer 8.
