    Check out Google Deskbar :)

    If you don't have IE 5.5+, it won't install, but open regedit and navigate to the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

    Export that key just as a backup.

    Create (or modify) a String value called "Version" to "5.5"

    Install Google DeskBar, once you've done that, disable "Show mini-results window"

    Instant Googly goodness :)

    It is what it's.

    hmmm not as handy as the built in google search used in the Mozilla Firebird

    Good point. BUT, it's very handy for when Firebird/Mozilla isn't already running :)

    It is what it's.

    /me wonders will Palm be too happy about this because they own the word Deskbar :-)

    The Deskbar is the entire bar at the bottom/top/side of your screen with the menu button, system tray and running apps in in. Not an application in it.

    Browsing with it is kinda slow with thats mini results window, can you configure it to open search results in Firebird?
