    This is probably is the best deskbar out there allowing you to use any search other than google if you choose. I can use MSN if i wanted to or Yahoo. or whatever. I can translate Spanish lookup IMDB or even search stuff on FileForum. I love it. I give it a 5!

    This is GREAT! I use it every single day, http://dict.leo.org/?search={1} for ENG/DE-Translation (Ctrl-E) and http://imdb.com/find?tt=on;nm=on;mx=20;q={1}
    for IMDB searches (Ctrl-I).

    Doesn't respect NTFS permissions. Until this is fixed I cannot use on any computer that has more than one user. (i.e. 90% of the ones I admin)

    ogman, who needs an interface? Important thing is the time takes from writing down the search words to see the results. Google Deskbar does this.

    I give ***** stars.

    I agree...Copernic is much better. Better search and a much better interface.
