Idealab Desktop Toolbar

Snap’s parent company, Idealab, has just come out with a desktop toolbar for Windows. It resides as a button in the upper left of your screen. When you click on it it slides open to the right and gives you options for searching dozens of sites on the Web . It also lets you simply type a program name to start it. Type “word,” for example, and you instantly get two options, MS Word and WordPad, assuming, of course, that they are on your computer. Click one and it launches.

I was amazed by the number of sites i can search. Also, You can customize your own site for search. Really Nice ! Following image lists the various sites.

2. When clicked on Search button it always shows 4 search boxes. It cannot be reduced. Please make it customizable.
3. The search button will always remain on top of every application.
