shortcut to add .ORG to web address?

[Rick C.]

I know pressing Ctrl+Enter at the Address Bar will prefix an entered
string with "www." and append ".com". Is there a way to create a
shortcut that will do the same prefixing but append ".edu" or ".org"?
Thanks.

Thanks. I want to keep Ctrl+Enter and *add* another shortcut. This
thread in Jeff's Weblog doesn't suggest this was possible, though it
does say something about a SearchURL feature -- not sure what this is?

Learn more about SearchURL feature:

Example:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\X
In the right-pane, set the (default) value to: http://www.%s.co.uk

So when you type "X BBC" without quotes in the Address Bar, you'll be taken
to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/

Customize the suffix accordingly. (.edu; .co.in, .pl etc)
