Managing Partial Address Feature in Internet Explorer


The Internet Explorer partial address feature has the ability to scan common domains for a match to a keyword that is being entered in the Address bar. Further, the feature is restricted by default to searching only the following domains: .COM, .NET, .ORG and .EDU. So this tip enables you to attach new domains, altogether change their priorities.
The values that are listed under the key below control which domains are auto searched for matches to the keyword entered in the Address bar.

  • If you want to add a new domain simply create a new string value. Then call it a sequential number (e.g. '7'). Set the data of the new value to equal the domain you wish to look for, for example to also search .DE domains add a new value of 'www.%s.de' (%s represents the keyword).
  • Simply rename the values with sequential numbers where '1' is the site to be checked first in case you wish to change their priorities.
