I think it is a valid request. It happened to me too.

The X should be moved or removed, deleting could be done in a right-click

context menu.

Good idea.



Better yet, make the address bar length adjustable like in previous versions

of IE so that we users can make better use of all that white space.

Hi Bob,



It is.... hover the mouse over the gap between the Address bar Stop button

(if aligned to the right of) and you will see the E/W cursor appear. Press

the left mouse button and drag it to change the size of the Search Box and

Address edit box.



Regards.

Thanks. It works --- but it still doesn't get me what I really want.

While the white space of the address bar can be reduced, it seems to only

increase the amount of white space in the search bar -- nothing gained

actually. If I enable the "search from the address bar" function, I can't

find a way to get rid of the dedicated search bar on the right or how to use

that space for other functions such as additional "favorites".



I have for some time been using the Quero toolbar which allows me the

freedom to move the "stop", "back", "home" and "refresh" buttons to the top

right hand side of my desktop and to combine the address/search functions in

one bar but I'm still stuck with all of that miserable white space as that

combined bar is not adjustable when using Quero. Viktor Krammer of Quero

doesn't seem to have any solution to that problem.



Suggestions?

Hi,



http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/20/how-to-disable-remove-or-hide-ie8-search-box



is the registry hack to hide the search box, but you are left with an

Address box that occupies the entire line in the IE7/8. The Navigation bar

in ie7/8 is separate to the tabs and menu area's and cannot be dragged and

dropped to occupy the same line as your other Addon Toolbars. (they did this

to stop spoofing attacks that overlaid a fake address bar over IE's.) All of

your Addon toolbars occupy the same area (rectangle) as the IE7/8 Menu Bar.

You can also hack the Address bar's position to be above or below the line

occupied by the menu bar and Addon toolbars. That's about it though.



I usually have the Search Box hidden and just live with the Address bar

occupying the whole width of my wide screen monitor. IE looks more like

Chrome than IE6! Its no great deal, and actually I prefer that layout as I

can read the entire web address and make sure that I am not navigating to a

spoofed address.



You know....

xhttp://mozilla.freevirusdownload.com/suckers/come/to/my/fake/site/to/be/infected?gtk=dsakj-ei843-keroi-4539-i8el9



If you want to do a web search without the search box visible, you can just

type in your search terms in the Address bar and the smart Address bar in

IE8 will recognize that it is not a valid web address or Favorite or History

item and use the default search provider to launch a web search.



Regards.

How about setting it so it will not send out messages in ALL CAPS.

Stop moving your mouse to the left when you move it down ... or just move

your mouse further left!
