The problem with Accelerators is that the user has to figure out which one to apply to his selection. It’s just unusable once you get more than two or three. The version of selection-based search which I love is KallOut. www.KallOut.com KallOut already works over IE (the older versions) and Firefox (my favorite) as well as all of office. What IE8 Beta really needs is a way for the application to automatically choose which accelerator you need to use for a given mouse-based search request. Kallout already does this with its “Best-Guess” feature. I downloaded the Kallout application from CNET but its main site is www.kallout.com -Pat Snehal,
