Address bar in Internet Explorer 8
The address bar in Internet Explorer 8 has been termed as smart address bar by Microsoft. And believe me it is indeed smart. It also provides RSS feeds and also gives you suggestions regarding searches. This ensures a comfortable and easier browsing experience.This address bar is similar and as much efficient as the address bar in Firefox 3 which had been termed as awesome bar. I think now Microsoft has realized that their direct competition is with mozilla.

First of let me explain what you can do with this feature.Whenever you highlight any text in IE8 an icon will appear.Then you can do a nuber of thing with the highlightened text like you can map a location, defineit, translate it or much more.
