Afternoon All,
I wonder if any of the daredevils among you could let me know how IntelliWebSearch fares (both the old Version and the new) under Windows 10?
Yes, I’m a chicken: I haven’t managed to muster up enough courage to upgrade to Windows 10 yet

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Mike

IWS 3 works like a charm Aug 7, 2015

Just dive in, Michael,

Make a screenshot of the Windows activation key page to have some proof that your current version of Windows is activated and upgrade to Windows 10 when you have 2 hours to spare. Everything kept working on my machine, including IWS 3.

If you want to test the lightning fast IWS searches in the new Edge browser, the IWS program setting for the browser is:
C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftEdge.exe

Cheers,
Gerard

How about trying IntelliWebSearch Version 5? Aug 7, 2015

The problem is finding two hours to spare.

If you have ten minutes more to spare, perhaps you'd like to give IntelliWebSearch Version 5 a spin

Windows 10 and IntelliWebSearch 5 Aug 9, 2015

I installed Windows 10 yesterday and can confirm that the new version of IntelliWebSearch is working fine.

I also tested setting up a search with the Quick Wizard, and it located IE 11 without a problem.



*** Edited to add:
Actually, I'm sorry to report that this morning I do have problems with IWS 5 on Windows 10.
It only works for one search, not if I perform another search within a minute or so.

I'll take this over to the IWS Yah... See more

I'll take this over to the IWS Yahoo group and report back here if there's any news.

Thanks Emma!
I am very relieved. I received a private Twitter message along the same lines too. Apparently Version 5 can also use Edge for the searches if you wish.

This bug was sporadically reported with other operating systems too, but it is fixed in the latest download.

Thanks, Mike. I've updated to build 12 and IWS is now working fine in Windows 10.

Mine's at "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge.exe" Aug 10, 2015

Interestingly, mine is located at:

"C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge.exe"

… and I can't get IWS 5 to use it, yet. Will report back if and when I do.

PS: I upgraded my Win7 to Win10 a few days ago.

Weird Aug 10, 2015

OK, got IWS 5 to use Edge. I had to create an empty shortcut on the desktop (right-click on Desktop > New > Shortcut), and use this location:

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge

Then, in IWS program settings, I navigated to the shortcut I just created, and IWS 5 can now use Edge. Not sure if I am not doing something completely stupid (probably am), but it works.

Edge is indeed zippy. Hope they add LastPass soon, so I can start using it.

I would say ingenious, but since not everyone is quite so techie, Version 5.0.1.14 now lets you choose Microsoft Edge from the dropdown list of compatible browsers:
Program settings>Other>Browser/Application settings>Browser

Regards
Mike
PS: with this change, IntelliWebSearch Version 5 now appears to be fully Windows 10 compatible.
