Google Toolbar increases your ability to find information from anywhere on the web. The toolbar appears along with the Internet Explorer toolbar. This means you can quickly and easily use Google to search from any website location, without returning to the Google home page to begin another search.

I input a search query, and was overloaded with spyware.

still using googlebar over this. similar features, hidable via button click, and the youtube and other extra searches are worthless in google's toolbar. the advanced buttons search inside the tiny search box and not the websites? wtf? if i want to search youtube, i dont want the results popping down in a 400x400 pixel box, i want them in the browser's page. maybe i missed a setting somewhere but searching with the non-standard google buttons is more annoying than going to the individual websites.
using googlebar for google searches and some advanced searches and built-in firefox search box for wikipedia, imdb, torrent sites, espn, youtube,
and more.

Genius toolbar. I love to be able "send to" a webpage in gmail; very useful feature. I'm bummed that they seem to have removed "word find" from the latest Firefox version. Not sure why they would do that. It's incredibly useful for finding searched for terms on an individual page. Of course, you could just have it highlight those words if you wanted. Personally, I just drag the icons and feature I like onto my usual Firefox toolbar and close the Google bar itself. I know you might be skeptical because so many companies put out bogus toolbars, but give it a try before you form your opinion.
