Top 10 improvements

#4  Fine-tuned Favorites
If you can't find your Favorites, it's time to do some organizing. Internet Explorer 5's new Organize Favorites dialog box helps you move Favorites into folders, rename them, and remove those you no longer use. Channels are now part of your Favorites list: they are there when you need them, but won't get in your way on the desktop.

#3  New Search features
Get results faster with the new Next button in Internet Explorer 5's Search bar. If you don't get the search results you want from one Search service, just click Next and you can automatically try your search with another service.

Internet Explorer 5 also makes it easier to start searching right from the Address bar. Just type the word or phrase you are looking for and click Go. Your search results appear below.

#2  Expanded AutoComplete

When you start typing a Web site address in the Address bar, a list of possible matches appears for you to choose from. And AutoComplete works on more than just addresses. You can type the name of a Favorite and AutoComplete searches your list of Favorites for a match. It even works in forms on Web sites. Now you won't have to retype common information such as your name, address, and passwords.

Hold on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for the number one improvement that will make your life easier.

Another drum roll please...
