It is snowing outside, I have a cup of coffee playing with new IE7! I have installed yesterday. It has cool features. My favorites are RSS feeds and custom search providers. There are a lot more features, check http://www.microsoft.com/ie and http://blogs.msdn.com/ie.

I wrote a search provider for CSUpdate, which you can find on the right side or you can click right here to add CSUpdate Search to IE7. You can find more search providers at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/searchguide/default_new.mspx.

Below is the description document I created. More information about description documents can be found at OpenSearch site.
