I am more often inside the php.net [php.net] site and seldom visit the main page. There always seems to be a new surprise when I do.

They have introduced (29-Oct) sidebars/toolbars for:
Mozilla 0.9.4 and above
Opera 6 and above
Internet Explorer 5 and above

I have just started using it today (on mozilla) and I like it so far, looks like it will be a helpful little plus.

It is also very nice to see a toolbar that is made for more than one browser.

On IE it also has an interesting behaviour

....add it to your favorites and clicking on it you can see our bar displayed in place of your usual search bar. This link does not install our bar as your default search bar....

I must say I'm surprised that nobody else has used these. They have been quite helpful for me so far.

They save a little time here and there.

That is pretty hot! And easy to install. On Opera at least. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip, Adam.

I´m now using this file for my IE6 search bar:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<title></title>
<frameset rows="50%,50%">
<frame src="http://www.google.com/ie">
<frame src="http://www.php.net/searchbar.php">
</frameset>

BTW this is a perfectly valid HTML document since html, head and body tags are all optional in HTML4.

Andreas, how do you set that up with IE6?

In the registry set the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Bar to the URI of this frameset file.
