I don't know if this is already "common knowledge" and I've just been "in the dark", but...

A couple of months ago, I updated to Netscape 7.1. I love NS and rarely use IE. However, I really liked the Google toolbar, only available for IE. I had the 'My Sidebar' google panel for NS, and even set up a custom keyword so I could search google from the location bar, but it wasn't the same as having the toolbar.

Anyway, the other day, while doing some other stuff, I came across an article discussing how to write toolbars for NS. I didn't even know this was possible. That got me thinking, and I did a search for 'google toolbar netscape'. The first result was http://googlebar.mozdev.org/ - a google toolbar emulator for NS/Mozilla!

I installed right away. It has all the features of the IE toolbar, plus some specialty searches, and all works great. The only thing I have found that is missing is the 'Pagerank' display.

I've only installed in NS 7.1, I don't know if it will work with 7.0 or not. I've been happy with it.

Just wanted to share with other NS/Mozilla users. Has anyone else used it? Let me know what you think...

I've been using it since like version 0.3 when it was barely functional. The page rank isn't implemented because that requires a propriety interface with a google server somewhere.

I love it, Mozilla has a search built into the address bar, but I use the word highlighiting features all the time.
