Customizing searches for IE7

It's interesting to think about how to add customized searches to IE7 using OpenSearch:  search providers For example, I often see searches for jobs, but what's the use of searching the whole internet.  You generally want to search for a job in a specific location.  Now anyone that's searching for a job should probably save searches at all the key job sites:  Monster, CareerBuilder, and so on.  No need to create a customized search for your IE7 or Firefox search toolbar.

But suppose you are a career counselor, and people walk in and want a specific job.  You might want a search shortcut available in your toolbar.  For example, let's use Indeed.com .  It's a job search engine that searches a bunch of places on the web for a job.  Go to the site and create a search on the zip code you want.  You end up with a URL like:

        http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=project&l=33014&start=10

It's easy to take the word I searched on, project, and replace it with the keyword that OpenSearchList.com uses.  Now you have the URL

       http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=brrreeeport&l=33014&start=10

Go to the add your own search page of OpenSearch:  adding searches to Firefox and IE7.  Add your name, description, the URL above, and you're done.  It's that simple.
