Anyone use the Google toolbar integrated into IE?

Its so cool, searching finally got better!

There's an integrated Google search bar in IE??

amish

 

[prodigy]

No, but I do have google bookmarked into the Links toolbar so it's only 1-click away.

I do now, thanks to this thread. I always use goolge as my main search engine, might as well save a step.

IE is bloated enough without another 'feature'

 

[Thorn]

At work, yes. At home, no.

Google ToolBar

You guys don't use it? I'm using 5.01+SP1 and with the Google bar up, its the best searching tool, you don't have to beam to your favorites then go to google.com, its right there with you. ALthough, I try to squeeze all the toolbars on one bar, its pretty cluttered, but worth its still worht it

 

[AlphaIVT]

whats so cool about this is that you can highlight a word and right click then go to google search and have it search for you! no typing at all! this is ggggggrrrreat!

I'm still using the one from Infoseek.

 

[AlphaIVT]

lol IB!

I got to check otu the infoseek one Google's is probably still better though

 

[KMurphy]

I dind't know google had one. The infoseek one is about 3 years old and sucks now. It is just so convenient. The google one has now taken over.

 

[Bling Bling]

ALF is a genius.

 

[thEnEuRoMancER]

IMO Google is the best search engine and the toolbar just got it better. I like the highlight feature.

 

[Passions]

WOW KEWL THANX SO MUCH!

 

[rocmonster]

the google bar is suspected of being spyware:

check it out

there ain't no free lunch anyhow...

 

[AlphaIVT]

So what? Its only collecting information about the sites that I go to, nothing else right? no harm done

 

[StealthX32]

great stuff...you can also use it to search sites...so on sites w/ UBB that don't have a search function, go to the UBB, type in your search into Google, and hit SEARCH SITE. Good stuff...and Highlight is the kewlest...

 

[JellyBaby]

At least they tell you up front they'll be tracking your activity...and you have the option of using a more private version of the toolbar.

Question though: since the google bar integrates with IE, a firewall wouldn't stop it right (assuming IE is approved by your fireware)? Ugh.
