Hey Hey

I use Daves Quick Search Deskbar... (Available here.)

It is a great little program.. It attaches to your task bar and displays the time and date by default, which means you can hide the clock in the system tray. Right clicking displays a calendar which you can browse and even configure it so if you click on a date it'll open up some calendar website (default is yahoo.. which is fine since I have it) and let you modify calendar entries..

It has several shortcuts but just to give you an example.. You can perform dictionary look-ups using dictionary.com and hrm.. another one.. can't remember which... You can access the php manual by typing php <term> the mysql manual by typing mys and term... It defaults to google.. so if you type in a term without any of the shortcuts it'll just search google for it. If you enter in a mathematical expression it'll solve it. It does conversions of all sorts, translations... You can bring up maps and do many other things with it. It currently has 269 functions (either website searches or direct functions.. one of which is rot13 encoding).. these 269 searches include 69 for various computer related website. It really is the ultimate swiss army knife for the internet.. you can even execute jS from the small box on your taskbar.. I'd highly recommend anyone that uses search engines or looks up a lot of stuff that they check it out.
