Microsoft Internet Explorer 9: Searching and Subscribing to Web Content

Overview/Description
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) is the latest version of Microsoft's web browser. Enhancements in IE9 include a simplified interface with ease-of-use features such as tab pages for accessing and browsing frequently used sites. Integration with Windows provides functions such as the ability to pin frequently used sites to the desktop.

This course introduces users to search functionality in IE9. The course also covers the use of accelerators to perform tasks such as mapping a street address from within a web page, and the course shows how to subscribe to web feeds and web slices to receive updated content automatically from web sites.
