Windows Vista provides a system for running mini-programs on your desktop called Microsoft Gadgets. Those of you running Vista have already seen them and no doubt installed a few of the simple web search gadgets like Google’s, or Wikipedia’s, or Yahoo’s. I was looking for something semi-useful to do as a first gadget and decided that consolidating all of those search gadgets into one was a worthy project.
Now that this is done, I actually find it handy, which is the point. If I get some feedback I can play around with a 1.1 version based on your comments.
With this one Vista Sidebar Gadget you can search Ask.com, Google, MSN, Wikipedia, and Yahoo. Download it here and enjoy.
