Custom Toolbar (W2K)

[noct]

I've searched for a program to create my own custom toolbar, found nothing that suits my needs as of yet. What i'm looking to do is create a toolbar that will be below the Address bar, and have a Google search, a dictionary.com search, and a acronymfinder search, just type your search in the appropriate text box and smack enter and your off.

Google has a toolbar HERE (http://toolbar.google.com/>HERE</a>.). I don't know how far down you can strip it.

www.m-w.com (Mirriam-Webster) has a toolbar HERE (http://www.m-w.com/tools/toolbar/>HERE</a>.)

The proceeding was from the "For What It's Worth" files, which by definition may be worthless. Take with a grain or ten of salt.

The dictionary.com and google.com ones worked out perfectly, although I would still like to get an acronymfinder one going...

I don't know what else to tell you. The site has a html clip that you can insert on a web page. You might paste it in a notepad document, and save it as an *.html file in your links folder. This would give you a button on the links bar that would popup the search box in IE.

I think I might be able to fashion a search box eventually, but it would take some time. I don't know how and the info I skimmed through makes me think it is doable, but complicated. It may take some time to learn what I'm doing. An interesting challenge though.

And besides that, I would have to get permission from the site operators before I tried to distribute such a contraption.

The site owner gave me the go-ahead. I'll let you know if I come up with something and he approves it.
