Auto complete urls in IE

 The Partial Address Feature of IE is a great . The Internet Explorer partial address feature scans common domains for a match to a keyword entered in the address bar. The feature is limited by default to searching only .com, .net, .org and .edu domains.



This tip allows you to add new domains and modify their priorities.



Navigate to:

HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\UrlTemplate


The values listed under that key control which domains are auto-searched for matches to the keyword entered in the address bar. To add a new domain, simply create a new String Value and name  5 . Set the data of the new value to equal the domain you want to search

Like .info or .in is becoming popular. To add .info add the value www.%s.info.



If you want the IE to first search for .info change their priorities, simply rename the values with sequential numbers(like in this case 1 to www.%s.info). This includes the existing domains (.com, .net, .org and .edu).
