@ wolf : First of all, I’m glad that you liked our suggestion of last time and that this time, you took time and left a comment personally.

Well, Bad of google that they are not allowing the use of API anymore, Kudos to you that you are trying to come up as an alternative to them.

Didn’t know about the shortcut feature and that deskbar feature will surely come pretty handy!

Thank you for your great review.

> Where’s Google ?

Google doesn’t provide a search web service API anymore (http://code.google.com/apis/soapsearch/reference.html)
The terms of service of the second Google AJAX Search API do not permit to integrate their search results into a client application.
Unfortunately not always an API is really open.

> Shortcut key required

Actually there is a shortcut: Win + S opens the browser with the FAROO search interface.
Of couse that little search box you mentioned would be neat. We will probably implement a taskbar search box (deskbar).

Best Regards,
Wolf
