This is a small Gnome applet that is like Google's Deskbar, but it 1) runs on Linux, and 2) can use search engines other than Google.

WHAT'S NEW:
2005-02-23 Version 0.2
+ Applets now remember what search engine they were using.
+ Applets now remember their history.
+ Entry width is now a customizable preference.
+ Bug fix: Gnome data-dir is no longer hard-coded (in python code - for the .server file I hope to move things over to autoconf soon).
+ UI fix: Search engine menu radio buttons now properly in sync with selected engine when keyboard accelerators used for switching.
