"Internet Tools" missing from IE6, wanted

[carpeliam]

I used the "Quick Search" function from IE5.5's "Internet Tools" quite a bit. I was wondering if anybody has tried these in IE6? I know they're not available for downloading seperately. I wanted to test out "Quick Search" in ie6. If anybody could email me the executable, I'd be curious to test it out, thanks. Liam Morley

Liam,

Maybe it's the Web accessories you're referring to. They are for version 5.0 and up.

Web Accessories for Internet Explorer 5
This kit includes a selection of some very useful utilities for Internet Explorer 5. Most of these are activated by &quot;right-clicking&quot; on an appropriate item in the browser and choosing the associated command. For example, if you want to use the Text Highlighter, select some text with the cursor, then right-click on the selected text and choose &quot;Highlight&quot; from the list of commands. Others such as the Image Toggler and Quick Search are located in the links bar. Check out the list of components below and then download Web Accessories for Internet Explorer 5 (131KB).
Note: These tools are only recommended for Internet Explorer 5. Internet Explorer 4.x users should use IE4 Powertoys.


Open Frame in New Window
Tired of HTML frames boxing you in? Ever wish you could see a page without all those annoying sidebars? Now you can! Just right-click anywhere in the frame you're interested in, and select Open in New Frame.
Quick Search
This Web Accessory lets you reach the search engines of your choice faster than ever. For example, typing &quot;av ActiveX&quot; into the address bar launches a search with Alta Vista on the keyword &quot;ActiveX.&quot; To activate this feature, select it from the links bar and then click on the &quot;Save&quot; button.
Zoom In/Zoom Out
Get up close and personal. This Web Accessory lets you zoom in and out of any image on a Web page. Just right-click on it and select Zoom In or Zoom Out.
Image Toggler
Now you can turn off images for extra speed, and turn them back on again, even more quickly and easily. Simply look for Toggle Images in the Links bar and click it.
Text Highlighter
This Web Accessory lets you highlight text in a document just like you would in Microsoft Word. It's easy. Select your text, then right-click and choose Highlight. This tool is very useful for reading long documents.
Web Search
Here's another tool for searching faster than ever. With this Web Accessory you can select keywords on a Web page, right-click, and choose Web Search. Your selected words go directly to a default search engine.
Links List
Ever wish you could see all the links on a page? Just right-click anywhere and select Links Lists, and you'll get a new window with every link on the page in a convenient list format. Then just click any link to navigate.
Image List
Finding out what images sizes are and how long they take to download at various connection speeds has never been easier. This tool will also display all the images on a web page in a separate window and display the file size and the size in pixels. This is a must have for Web Developers.

well if you notice, the stuff for &quot;5 and up&quot; is not compatible with 6; it's compatible for 5 and 5.5. Which is fine, though, because they recently came out with stuff for 6 as well (completely seperate than what they had for 5). I'm all set, thanks.. <p>Liam Morley<br><A HREF="mailto:"></A><br>&quot;light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>light the world, and bring depth to the silence.&quot;
