elegant new tool
David Bau, a veteran of the Internet Explorer development team, wrote an incredibly cool search utility/address bar/calculator for your taskbar. Download it here. (Joel on Software)
It is truly awesome. I installed it tonight. Oh, and if you still don't have the Google Toolbar, then you are now officially a laggard. A dinosaur!

Are you talking about Google's toolbar that logs your every move as you mosey about the Internet? Me, I prefer Anonymizer.

By using the Advanced Features version of the Google Toolbar, you may be sending information about the sites you visit to Google. This is needed to make services like PageRank?, and other features that update automatically, available to you.

In order to show you more information about a site, the Google Toolbar has to tell us what site you're visiting, which it does by sending us the URL. This does not tell us who YOU are (your name or email address), but it does tell us that a user has requested the PageRank for a given site. Google will not sell or provide personally identifiable information to any third parties. To learn more about the privacy protections we have built into this system, read our Toolbar privacy policy.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have tried out Kenjin which seems more innovative, in that it allows context-based search not only on ther web but also on your PC hard drive, and comes up with suggested links(reviewed here). However, it's not very fast at indexing the hard drive.
