The next time you need to find something online via Internet Explorer, just tap the F3 key. Up should pop a painless side pane (which can be dynamically resized according to your tastes). From there, you can find a Web page, get a person's address, locate a business, uncover your most recent searches, look up a word, or find a map. Aha, you already knew that?! Don't tune out so quickly, folks. Every time you search for something using the "search" Explorer bar, you're inadvertently giving props to HippieTim, The Bermanator, and The Vortex of Slack. Huh?! Did I just pick those names out of the air? Hardly. I picked 'em out of the source code for that Web page. Yes, that pane is not a local HTML document. In a way, it's another IE easter egg. Unless, of course, you knew about it already. But do you know about the other developers and testers that have been given credit? Uh huh... better look for yourself to get the complete picture.
