URL box

I have Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6 installed on my computer. Is there any way that I could type a general description of a thing in the URL box without typing a dot com and get a web address list of those thing? For example can I just type "automobile manufacturers" in the URL box? Thank you.

 

Yes you can! Why haven't you done this already to see what would happen?.....

The results will be a list of hits with those keyword filters being displayed in your default search engine. You will have to hunt and peck from those.

===============
There's so many ways to customize search, you may want to open up IE's help file [upper toolbar menu] and on the search tab and in the word type_in_line, type search. Browse through the topics at your leisure.

Have you tried the Google Toolbar? Try it you may like it:

http://www.google.com/options/

I'm specifically speaking about the IE plug-in google bar:
http://toolbar.google.com/

NOTE*You will have to customize the options to pare down on some of the bloat but once you get only the icons you need on the bar, it's a Keeper.
