Google toolbar
-
Anyone using the Google Toolbar 5 beta? About a year ago, I was testing it at home and using the current version 4.x at work. I do not know if it was due to incompatibility, the Toolbar 5 could not display my bookmarks correctly, so I replaced it. Best regards, Paul.
Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.

The google toolbar appears to be what was crashing IE7 on my XP SP2 machine, although I removed it, and it's reappeared on it's own and appears stable, so maybe I have the new beta and they fixed the bugs.

Please can you check the about dialog and give me the version information? Best regards, Paul.

It seems my google toolbar is disabled. The toolbar I see, adds Code Project as a search provider if I browse here ( not sure what that means ) and it allows me to 'find more providers', which goes to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/searchguide/en-intl/default.mspx?dcsref=http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx[^]. It looks to me like it's a search bar that IE is providing and not the google toolbar at all, although that seems odd, given that it doesn't offer MSN. I just added amazon and ebay tho, this thing is pretty cool. Based on this, I would not install the google toolbar, as it doesn't appear I am running it after all, and when I did, IE crashed constantly.

This is a well-known Firefox feature, now supported in IE7. I do not think there is MSN, it is now Live Search.

There is just too much there for me - Codeproject button, Gmail button, Bookmarks (stopped using the IE/Firefox bookmarks), Language translations, spell checker etc. Best regards, Paul.

I stopped using search engine toolbars when IE7 Beta 2 came out. They leak information about what you're browsing (other than what you search for) and contribute greatly to the browser's unreliability.

It's actually called OpenSearch and Scott Hanselman[^] has a quite decent post on it.
