Are Accelerators Gone For Good In Ie?

    A while back, during a random auto-update of Windows 7, I noticed all my accelerators were gone from Internet Explorer 11 once I launched it again. I have it checked to install new updates automatically, so I assume the latest build removed that feature (and Microsoft seems to have stopped supporting them on their add-on site).

    I can't tell you how extremely handy it was to be able to highlight something with my mouse, right click it and have an accelerator search it on YouTube, map it Google Map or search it with Google. I loved it. Is there a way to get these accelerators back or reinstall them by hand since Microsoft doesn't seem to have this option any more? It would be hugely appreciated!

    Thanks
