Multi-SE Toolbar

[Allergic]

I see this week a lot of discussion on Toolbars. For the last 6 months i personally used the Google Toolbar only to check the PR.

I have found a new one who can be configured easily for ANY search engines or search box and with ANY advanced search engine feature. All in one bar. Ultrabar !

I have used it too. It is great. You can add just about any specialized SE or directory you want to it too.

fancy letting us know where you got it?

found it - [ultrabar.com ]

I've seen a review that says ultrabar doesn't contain spyware. I'd be more comfortable if that was stated on the download site itself.

One of my most used scripts with that toolbar is to put only a domain name in it, without "www." and ".com", and get all the indexed pages from Google ;)
[google.com...]
Time saving !

Fantastic !

Even can search my own site offline, nice and simply using this toolbar on [localhost...] :)

P.S. : [searchengineworld.com...]

Possibly one of the useful ones to have! You can add your favourite shopping sites too!

I hope they gonna release a Mozilla version.

I believe this one is better, and you can use it with Moz too as it docks into the Win taskbar, not the browser:

Does calculations, searches dozens of engines and sites, does whois, converts currencies and measurements, translates, shows date & time, doubles as the Windows "Run.." input, has a history etc etc.
Only problem is, it does far too much to keep all the functions in mind :) But the default Google search is good enough.

(Absolutely no affil, and the toolbar is totally uncommercial & free, GNU license)

Edit: I just see it's probably less easy customizable.

That's neat! QuickSearch.exe from the Internet Explorer Web Accessories is another way to search quickly. Just plug in the abbreviation plus your search query into the address bar. Much faster than having to select a search engine from a drop down list. But for Google searches and "highlighting" this UltraBar is essentially what I used from the Google Toolbar.
