My dear chap, surely a search engine should give one reults in ones web
browser? Heaven forbid that we have propiority search engines, or the
acess to them.

Nope, no goose chase. The target is your wallet. There are people who are
willing to pay for a product. I have no problem with sponsered links as
long as Google gives the results.

An aside, how much would you be willing to pay for a Google search, 1, 5,
10, 20, 99 cents or more?

a googlebar for mozilla and firefox too.

Why would you need a google bar at all? it's all built in anyway.

Buecause of all the extra useful buttons it offers like being able to
restrict you sesrch to only Penguin friendly sites, or MS friendly if you
insist, but I find the most useful bottons are the ones which allow you to
do a one click search for the terms you searched for in the page shown.

It appears that I only use very limited features of the google bar, lord
knows I grabbed it about a million years ago.

mine doesnt seem to have the features that the new one has.
it only has search, all I have ever needed.

anyway, never mind, I'll try the new one. and the mozilla add on if it
is so great.
