How many of those HTML 5 "standard features" are finalized standards?-Josh (February 16, 2011, 05:48 PM)

Is anything from HTML5 "finalized standards"?
It's about getting on the bandwagon and implementing as much of the current standard as possible. It's nice that MS are doing important things wrt. security and speed, and claiming they're aiming for standard compatibility... but...
Josh:
Does anyone know how to do keyword searching in ie9? similar to when you type "g search term here" to search google?
Stoic Joker:
You mean search aliases?
I've been using the same create search alias registry hacks since IE4 and they still work:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl]
"provider"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\di]
@="http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=%s"
" "="+"
"%"="%25"
"&"="%26"
"+"="%2B"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\g]
@="http://www.google.com/search?q=%s"
" "="+"
"%"="%25"
"&"="%26"
"+"="%2B"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\gi]
@="http://images.google.com/images?q=%s"
" "="+"
"%"="%25"
"&"="%26"
"+"="%2B"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\kb]
@="http://support.microsoft.com/?id=kb;en-us;%s"
" "="+"
"%"="%25"
"&"="%26"
"+"="%2B"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\mw]
@="http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=%s"
" "="+"
"%"="%25"
"&"="%26"
"+"="%2B"

The above entries can be used as a template to create an alias for anything you want.

Mozilla have called out the RC on it's actual level of HTML5 compatibility: Is IE9 a modern browser? (from El Reg)

Not certain, but I don't think HTML5 is not scheduled for standardization until 2014.
