Does anyone here use them?
Have you had any problems if you do?
What one(s) do you use if you use them?

I do not a present, but am thinking about it.

Never tried any of them personally. What do you think you would gain by installing them? Would they give you better search capabilities on their site? I think it is just more junk clogging up the hard drive.

No sorry I have never tried any of them, nor would I. I am very suspicious of these types of bars, they invariably come embedded with something nasty from my experience.

What I do use is the excellent search bar by Dr. Evil an add-on for mozilla firefox.
One of the search bars available to me on there is 'Toogle' a torrent search engine, which I find excellent. Other search engines available on the bar and that I have selected out of a list of options, include imdb, widipedia, answers.com, flickr, all available at one click.

sigh...edit #2 It is not by Dr.Evil, the Dr Evil thing is an additional addon to the firefox search engines bar.

good morning padded...happy to see you are wide awake and alert now! LOL!

i think i would have to agree with nerys. i tend to stay clear of installing search bars...but, i was a little tempted by a torrent one.

I use one from and for Firefox browser,"TorrentBar 0.9.1.7". Saves alot of time searching all the popular search engines for a file.Type the file you are after in the bar and click on search, a list of all the popular search engines pops up,your search is on and easy.Very helpful tool.
A good place for info. about the add-ons offered is the forum of the site with the offering.

Yeah toogle does the same thing on firefox nog. There are so many safe add-ons for firefox to choose from, not just search engines.

Bottom line is, if you aren't using firefox for your browser, why aren't you?
