When I created Find As You Type for Internet Explorer, I didn't really expect to get any recognition for it. It is my experience that most people won't comment on software unless they have a problem with it. :)
So when several people let me know on Channel9 that they liked it, that was a welcome bonus. That some of those people worked at Microsoft or were even part of the Internet Explorer team was of course even more welcome.
But that I'd actually be mentioned on the Internet Explorer Team Blog (it's at the end of the blog post, just above the comments), that's something I never could have even imagined.
So I'm famous! Just you watch; before you know it, I'll be doing talkshows! ;)
And in case you hadn't noticed yet, version 1.1 of Find As You Type was uploaded last Wednesday.

I also wish Microsoft would have included a find feature like what you wrote. Two suggestions; 1. put an X (close) button so I don't have to go into toolbar and uncheck it. And 2. add a highlight all where it would highligh all the found text on the page. Beyond that, wonderful job!

Hi Mark, thanks for you kind words.
About your suggestions: they are both on the list for the next version (sorry, no guarantees on when I'll be able to work on that). In the mean time, for your first suggestion, you can close the toolbar by pressing ESC while the search field has focus. This does mean you'll have to click in the text field when the search bar doesn't have focus and then press ESC, but this is perhaps simpler than having to right click.
