Neat but I would rather control which Google I search in.
And I don't want to confuse the address bar.
Google searches are on my Links bar and works very good.

What do you mean "which Google"? If you want to use the German version
of Google, just replace the .com with .de, for instance.

Works well too; I merely want to save "screen real estate" ;)

-----------------------------------------------
File Edit View Favorites Tools Help Address:[box]backarrow
-----------------------------------------------
Links: [I]google [I]title [I]title [I]title etc...
-----------------------------------------------
[I]=Icon

These are the two tool bars on screen...takes up 1/2 inch
of space. Each Link has 10-15 sub-links to sites/folders.
