Find Prices for Highlighted Technology Products via Newegg

SUMMARY: Search the Newegg e-commerce website for information and prices for highlighted technology products via an Internet Explorer 8 Accelerator.


 

While accessing technology-related websites via Internet Explorer 8, you may come across the name of a product that you are interested in and want more information including its general price.

One e-commerce website on which you can find computer and technology-related products is Newegg. Instead of visiting the site directly, you can search it merely by highlighting a product name and accessing an Internet Explorer 8 Accelerator. You won't even have to leave the current webpage as this Accelerator offers a preview feature via the Accelerators menu.

1. From Internet Explorer, visit the following URL:

http://www.ieaddons.com/en/details/searchhelpers/Newegg_Search/

2. Click the "Add to Internet Explorer" button.

3. Confirm the Accelerator information is correct. If you want this to be the default Accelerator for the "Find" category, meaning you do not have to go through a second step of accessing an "All Accelerators" submenu, click the "Make this my default provider for this Accelerator Category" box. Then click the "Add" button.

Now when you visit a webpage containing a product name and you want more information and prices, highlight the text with your mouse. Click the Blue accelerator button, then "Find Product with Newegg". Note that if you did not make this the default accelerator for the category, you'll need to first select "All Accelerators", then "Find Product with Newegg".

Newegg will then appear in a new tab with results matching your highlighted text. Note that you can also hover your mouse over the "Find Product with Newegg" menu option to view a snapshot of the results without leaving the current page.
