The new Yahoo! companion search tool bar thingie offers a bunch of stuff like pop-up blocking, search within site, highlight search term and the usual Yahoo! stuff like access to calendar, bookmarks and mail, but what *I* like is the right click access to search. Now I search on everything like crazy– love it!

(I feel like such a ho, but I love it!)

BTW, I never noticed I had google access in my rightclick until I took the screenshot. What a difference a bit of white space, and icon and a good call to action make. “google search” vs. “Search the web for term” are day and night apart in clarity.

    You could always just get a browser that’s good enough to have that feature built in from the start… like Firebird 😛

    Long before google deskbar was dave’s. But as picasso said, Good artists borrow, great artists steal…

    And I disagree about the use of rightclick.. if you are a mouser, rather than a typist, than it is very useful, as many searches one does is in context of another task– say, reading email. The real problem… and where microsoft could gain advantage… is in application integration.
