Mini Explorer - An excellent, very well thought out tool (26/06/2008)
Forget about having to open a browser to find items or information. Select the service of your choice, type in what you want, and Boom!, out slides a mini browser/window with your results. Awesome!

Cool! (13/07/2008)
Very nice gadget! You don't have to load google THEN type your search. I personally don't care that it creates a directory in my documents...Most games I play create a directory there too...To each there own...

Good, but has one critical flaw (29/06/2008)
This WOULD be an nice gadget to have due to it's convenience, however, I simply cannot allow it on my system, as it automatically creates a directory for itself in "my documents" that will replace itself if it is removed. THis is simply unacceptable. I hate any program that writes to the my documents folder on its own.

No Live is an Obvious (11/06/2009)
Guys there is no longer a Livesearch, it is now bing.com So don't complain about now live support, because there was until last week. This brings me to a good point, how about an update that changes live to bing.com I've been trying to manually, but you guys made a bunch of code and I don't have the time to screw with it. Also can you make it so the flyout is permanent, and doesn't just open your default web browser when you click on a link? That would be amazing! I've been trying to edit many gadgets to do this, but haven't been successful yet, can't wait to see you guys do it!
