Thanks for the tip, Tom. I seemed to remember this was available, but was offline at the time. And unfortunately "Find More Providers" requires an Internet connection. Now if that was available as an offline tool....

This is a great idea, and fairly easy to do without reg edits.

If you click on the search provider drop down menu in IE7, and select "Find More Providers" it will take you to a page where you can either pick some of the pre-created Search Providers, or :-

"Create Your Own"

This allows you to put a search URL in using the value TEST - eg.

Computer Details

http://mysms01/SMSReporting_XXX/MachDetails.asp?Machine=TEST

Give it a nice friendly name, and click "Install". You don't even need to restart IE7 for this to work.

Thanks for the idea.
