This first gadget I've developed allows you to search using either Windows Live, Google and Yahoo! search engines. I'll continue working out a new feature that allows you to add custom search engines in the future. Do give some feedback so that I can improve on my coding! :)

Best Search Gadget (22/09/2008)
Extremely compact! Uses default browser (like Firefox)! Goes to the REAL Google page--not to an affiliate page! Truly the best search gadget I have found yet!

search bar (03/11/2007)

If i point to inbox and then to a different listing.............Does anybody know what the heck i'm taliking about. Get RID of the dam th

Loses settings (04/04/2007)
This gadget is nice but loses the settings after every reboot. So if I set it to do google search and then reboot it goes back to Live Search. Would be nice if the changes made in the settings were kept for the next reboot.

very handy (12/03/2007)
who would have thought a few decades ago we could access info from a computer from another source. Handy little tool - doesn't sit well in sidebar though - I have it at bottom centre of screen with opacity set at 60%.

Very nice (13/02/2007)
I like the simple design and interface. I've tried similar gadgets and none of them worked as I wanted. This interface is non-intrusive, compact, and works with the default browser I use (firefox). Good job!

Very simple to use (05/02/2007)
Opening the results in a Flyout would improve this Gadget, as it currently offers nothing that IE/Firefox do not already do. One problem, it takes up far too much Sidebar space, the body height is about twice the size of the Gadget. It is very simple to use though.
