Why wouldnt I just use the Google Toolbar at toolbar.google.com instead? Much more powerful, smaller, useful. Someone needs to stop foreign programmers from spamming useless gadgets here.

It would be better if the search bar was longer (to support more characters). Also, when you type a URL it doesn't open the website (only takes you to google search). It froze up on me before, and my computer showed a white screen and it took a while to figure out how to shut it down. Overall, I'm happy with it though - it still sits on my sidebar.

All i need to do it check my side bar. Instead of having 2 toolbars. Works well..Kudos

Simple and straightforward but looks like crap. Big dumb white square is ugly.

It's nice to have handy but the gadget could look and feel a little more in line with most gadgets...smooth corners, nice window, some opacity, etc.

For a fly out version take a look at Google Searcher (http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=1ef8d7de-10e8-4a87-9e2e-c98bd47f05f5&l=1)

I like having this handy. I hope that version 2 will include: 1. Results in a flyout (similar to the eBay search gadget) so that it doesn't replace the current IE window. 2. Some way to specify Web, Images, News, etc.

Sorry to say but its spam

The title said it. Or not useful enough: search more, like blogs, books, etc.... Incorporate Live and Ask.

Enough said
