Hi, Jay.
>You would think that if I type "wral" into the browser address bar, it would know that I probably want
www.wral.com by default. Instead, it brings up something called Live Search, which shows a list of possible sites. Oddly, the first one is not
www.wral.com, but
www.wral-tv.com. Maybe the option to handle that is in IE7 somewhere, but I haven't come across it. I know, what about all those people who wanted
www.wral.org? That's why I would want a default setting.
A good shortcut which most browsers support is Ctrl+Enter. Type wral
to expand it to: http://www.wral.com
Depending on the browser, you can change this behaviour, too.
Hope this helps,
