Adding Custom Search using IE 7 beta

Its like somebody read my mind... a few days back i was whining about not being able to search Google.co.uk... i like search Pages with UK and about not being able to add other Search providers... I just noticed on IE blog they have given a registry script by which you can add custom search options.
They have shown using msdn search as a part of IE... that is top thinking...
i am going to add that and Google UK search.
Here is post from IE Team

And here is my version of script based on their post.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\MSDN]
"DisplayName"="MSDN Library"
"URL"="http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?qu=%s&View=msdn"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Google.co.uk]
"DisplayName"="Google UK"
"URL"="http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8&q=%s"

Absolutely fantastic
