Add search domain in Windows 7?

Question

Anyone know how to do it? I've googled but to no avail.

Search domain? To search what from where? Windows Search? DNS? ...?
for example, if i typed 'mail' into my url, i want it to automatically add '.google.com' for me when i hit enter.
on my mac, this is equivalent to going into my network settings and adding a search domain.

Go to "Control Panel" -> "Network and Sharing Center".
Click on "Change Adapter Settings" on the left side.
Right-click on your network adapter (normally "Local Area Connection" or "Wireless Network Connection") and select "Properties".
Select "Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"and click on the "Properties" button.
On the General tab, click on the "Advanced..." button.
In the "Append this DNS suffixes" list, add the domains you want, like "google.com".

I just tried and it worked for me. By typing "mailENTER" in Firefox, I was sent to Google Mail.
