Dave's Quick Search Deskbar Description

Dave's Quick Search Deskbar is a tiny textbox that Dave Bau designed for search hounds with weary mouse-fingers. Unlike the Google Toolbar, this little deskbar lets you launch searches without starting a web browser first, directly from your Windows Explorer Taskbar. You type your search and hit Enter for a regular Google Search. If you're Feeling Lucky, tack an exclamation point on to the end of your search - 'pow! ' - and go directly to the top ranked hit. It is Powered By Google, and Yes it Really Works. Now you can do searches no matter what you are doing - email, word processing, programming, whatever. There's more. You're not a captive to Google. Do Yahoo searches with a 'yh question', get Merriam-Webster definitions with a 'colon:', get Bloomberg stock quotes like this 'msft intc csco$', and find Switchboard phone numbers by saying 'Lois Lane#'. You can search real 'news.' search 'newsgroups,' check 'weather*', or 'comparison shop$$'. There's a built in calculator when you need to know 'pow(1.0625, 30) ' is 6.1640785. And so on. Too much to remember? Click the button on the search bar or press F1 and a menu shows you all your choices. Not enough space on your deskbar? It includes a clock so that you can free up some space by turning off the system deskbar clock
