ShowTopResult specifies whether the TopResult feature is used with search requests in Windows® Internet Explorer®.

This setting works with the TopResultURL setting.

Typically when an end user performs a search, the search provider returns a search results page. With the TopResult feature enabled, when the search provider is confident that the end user is searching for a specific website, the search provider can choose to skip the results page and instead return the new site.

Values

true

Specifies that the TopResult feature is enabled for this search scope. When the search provider is confident that the end user is searching for a specific website, the search provider can choose to skip the results page and instead return the top search result returned by the search engine.

This is the default value.

false
