Maybe because google is the best search page on the internet? Sherlock integration would be nice, but for anything other than what google would find, just go to the website or launch sherlock!

I don't use Sherlock at all. I think it's useless.

I agree.  Just don't see what's useful about it.  alright, I occasionally use the translation.  And the stock lookup.  But that's it.

I like the Google toolbar thingy.  It means I can, for instance, see something in a web page and just (in the words of Jobs) boom, type it right in and go.

I just hope apple didn't spend too much time coding that google search.  OmniWeb comes with the same functionality as a shortcut.

it's a simple matter of creating a url and then requesting it.

I could code that in one minute in AppleScript.  I don't see why you think Apple's far more experienced programmers would do anything else.[/i]

If you can do this, why don't you go ahead and freakin' do it instead of whining here and wanting someone else to do it for you?

I like having the Google search in the bar.  It is possible to do a search, then type a url in the address bar and root around (separately from the search itself) then click the SnapBack in the google bar and go directly back to the search page and still have the SnapBack in place in the address bar.

I don't believe any other browser has this functionality, although it's been a while since I used anything besides Chimera.

Here's a question: why do I have to select the "check spelling as you type" every time I fire up Safari?  That seems to be one setting I should be able to set as a permanent preference.  Or am I missing something?

could you be so kind and point out the whining to me.

Give him a break, if he has kids like me, pretty soon everything anyone says sounds like whining.

MS IE for windows has the same thing but with alot more search engines...

But does a browser running under Windows really count?

And who uses anything besides Google?

Yeah, really, what the hell are you talking about?

Perhaps you mis-read what A Boy Named Charlie Brown wrote?

I don't use Sherlock because I still use and prefer Watson.

Ditto here.

the only times I use sher;ock is when i look for files on my computer. Sherlock, Copernic and any search thingy you need to boot i can't see use for.

well I use sherlock for the Movie times feature, thats really nifty. I just click movies and it shows me a list of movies and times for my theatre, AND has the trailer in a quicktime movies automatically load! That is really cool. The Ebay feature will also come in handy. Its nice, because you get the same funcionality as the websties, but w/o the extra ads and stuff.

no, and the computers in the library at my school have google blocked, so you have to use some of the other crappy search engines

i also dont use sherlock (unless im in 9)
