Access search in your browser with a question mark

IESearch.jpgInternet Explorer 8 includes the familiar separate on-screen search box, but IEBlog points out another technique you can use to perform a search: from the IE address bar, just type a question mark and then your search term. Unsurprisingly, a similar technique also works in Firefox 3, though it will often send you straight to the top-ranked search result rather than offering choices.

    Or even better use Google Chrome and it not only comes up with an option to search google (without a ? prefix) but it will allow you to search your history and it will suggest popular web pages that match as you are typing. Its relatively revolutionary and I love it!
