As I spend seriously scary amounts of my life searching Microsoft.com and related properties, I threw together some OpenSearch thingummyjigs to search from the IE7 Search Box Thing.

I'm still unconvinced that they're more effective than just typing site:something.microsoft.com in every query (I don't have to take my hands off the keyboard to do that), but it was a fun learning exercise.
