New SOMD Button for Google ToolBar

Admin · 08-23-2006, 04:40 PM

If you have the latest Google Toolbar installed in your browser, you can install our new Toolbar button by clicking on the following link:

http://toolbar.google.com/buttons/ad...bar-button.xml

If you need the Free Google Toolbar, just go to:

http://toolbar.google.com/

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Two things as demonstrated in the attached screen capture:

1) When you enter a query in the Google Toolbar Query box and press the SOMD button, you will search our master search engine at http://search.somd.com/

2) Clicking on the little down-arrow next to the button will display the latest threads from the Forums (Updates every 5 minutes).

Note: As of 14-SEP-2006, only MSIE supports the custom buttons. They are not yet available for FireFox.

Custom Buttons Not Available for Your Browser

Would I have to give up Mozilla and install Firefox?

Apparently, only the current Google Toolbar for MSIE supports custom buttons. The Firefox version update has not been released. Mozilla is the OnE browser I do not use and I do not know if the Toolbar is even available.

How cool is that?

The new Google toolbar has a spellchecker, too. Not that I'm trying to say anything *cough* Larry *cough*...

And FYI, in the forum threads feature of the Google toolbar, if you hover over the thread title it gives you part of the first post just like in the thread listings on here.

Is that an alterable feature? Fifteen minutes without updating can seem like a reeeeeeeaaaaalllllllllyyy long time.

OK, I changed the refresh time to 5 minutes.

If you already installed the button, just delete it and then reinstall.

TO DELETE:

On the Google Toolbar, go all the way to the right and click on the Settings button, then select Options...

A Toolbar options Window opens. Click on the Buttons Tab.

Hilight the search.somd.com entry under custom buttons and press the Remove button on the right.

Now just click on the link to reinstall:

http://toolbar.google.com/buttons/ad...bar-button.xml
