Microsoft introduced accelerators concept in IE8, as a new user experience model which would help you quickly perform your everyday browsing tasks without navigating to other websites to get things done. InterviewPattern.com partners with Indeed.com service to bring functionality of multi-source job search, so it felt natural that I decided to give it a try and create IE8 Multi-Source Job Search Accelerator. The Accelerator open source service description is very straight forward, apart from display settings such as name, icon and description you just provide execute and if needed preview actions. Preview action would be triggered then user hovers over menu item in IE contextual menu and execute then user click on it.

 Accelerator code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

               <preview action="http://interviewpattern.com/AcceleratorService.aspx?q={selection}" method="get" />

                <execute action="http://interviewpattern.com/jobsearch.aspx?q={selection}&l=USA"  method="get"/>                 

       </activityaction>
