The New Google Toolbar: Wow

Okay, I'm generally not a fan of Google's software (largely because it's resource intensive and sports a poor UI). However, they've released a new beta of the Google toolbar (4.0), adding one feature that's a must-see. I wanted to add gada.be to the toolbar, and found it was amazingly simple to do!

  1. Install the latest Google Toolbar (4.0) beta.
  2. Go to gada.be in Internet Explorer.
  3. Right-click in the Search box.
  4. Select “Generate Custom Search” from the menu.
  5. Step through the wizard and Voila!

However, I'd recommend you simply add gada.be to the Google Toolbar by clicking directly on this link. To quote Peter Griffin, this is freakin' sweet. Of course, Google is copying the Weather function from every other toolbar out there now, and they're still using an ultra-neon blue highlight color in their menus - but I love what 4.0 is doing so far.
