Latin Morphological Analysis in IE7

IE 7 has a new search box in the top-right corner of the browser window. It's possible to search with different search engines by selecting one using the little drop-down box. A few options are built-in, but it's also possible to add your own search engines.

I've found it useful to add the morphological tool from Perseus to the list. Then I can just type in a Latin word and quickly get the morphology and links to Lewis & Short without having to load up Perseus first.

It's rather easy to set up:

1. Click the 'find more providers' link.



2. You'll get to a Microsoft website which provides a list of different search engines to add. There isn't a default link for Perseus (shocking, I know! Doesn't everyone want morphological analysis?), so you'll have to set it up yourself by following the directions in the 'Create Your Own' box.



3. Cut and paste the following URL where it asks for the search results page:

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/morphindex?lookup=TEST&.submit=Analyze+Form&lang=la&formentry=1

And that's it!
