Search and enjoy: 7 search toolbars reviewed

http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/4520-3514_16-5577625.html

Want to research something fast? Install a search engine toolbar within your browser. Some even block pop-ups and spam and can securely remember your credit card number for future purchases. Best of all, they're free.

If you're still going to the Google or Yahoo home page to do Web searches, you're missing half the fun--and you're unnecessarily exerting your fingers. Toolbar plug-ins for Microsoft Internet Explorer--and now Firefox--make it easy and fast to look up Web references without having to type in another URL.

The latest search toolbars also run specific, targeted searches for news, weather, and stock quotes. They highlight search terms on a Web page so that you can find them in a snap. They also block annoying pop-up windows that keep littering your desktop, and some track your Web history, index and search your e-mail, translate Web pages, and keep track of your bookmarks--even when you're working on a different PC.
