The following questions are the top issues concerning authoring for the Search bar. The Search Assistant gives users a task-based approach to finding information on the Web. They are no longer required to know the various common and specialty search engines that are available to them. The Search bar is created using the same components used in the rest of the Internet Explorer browser. Any functionality that is possible in the regular Internet Explorer browser is possible in the Internet Explorer Search bar.
Frames solve only half the problem with searching.
By using a frameset, the user is always forced to give up 20 to 30 percent of the available screen space. There is no way for the user to dismiss the frame and use its screen space for the main content area. Also, framesets have a host of navigation and usability problems when they are used as a general UI mechanism. The Search bar provides a UI that is controlled by the user. It gives users much more control over how their browser display space is used, because they can control whether the Search bar is visible.
