add ability to create search aliases

similarly to a feature in IE7Pro plugin. the ability to alias a letter to two
to a search query with a base url and query string is powerful. For example
if I wanted to reate a live search alias, I'd make it l that points to
something like "http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=%s" where %s is
somethingyou type after l in the address bar. in the address bar from now on,
i would be able to type "l ie8" and it'll run
http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=ie8

in firefox, this is similarly done with the keyword feature in their
bookmarks. and using a variable such as %s as I used above.

Hi IE,

This is already present in ALL versions of IE and other MSIE browsers. They
are called SearchURL's or (aka. Address Bar shortcuts)

Off topic - I see that the Google Chrome included them in their(?) browser.

Regards.
