Excellent

I have been using Searchling for al long time. Finally I did the jump to this "new version" and I am very happy with it:

1. No procesor waste
2. Very discreet, cute and clever User Interface
3. Easely customizable
4. And the last but the best: easy Keyboard shortcuts

Before you buy this, try Quicksilver. You can do everything this app does and even more! And QS is free.

Let me ask you something:

Does everything always have to be free? Is a developer ever entitled to earn a living by producing some decent programs?

I'm just sayin'.....

Give the guy a break. (And no, I'm not in any way involved in the software business; just a guy kinda tired of always seeing these developers ragged on daily, like they were the devil or somethin')

Just because you know where to pick up a similar application at no cost; why deny this developer the opportunity of eaking out a living? Would you like someone like YOU doing to your business, what you did here today to him?

I don't think so....

Should re-release this as freeware ;)

Not a bad product but with the donationware 'Butler' available as a free download you would have to be nuts to purchase ambrosia's fifteen buck one trick pony.

Absolutely fantastic. I can't live without this app! Being able to search any site I want to and go to any site via keyboard shortcuts I specify is invaluable. The possibilities are endless.

I've tried other applications that do nearly the same thing, but none of them fit as perfectly as this little gem. The clean interface, powerful features, and low price make it a must-have in my book!

I've been trying out iSeek and have one quibble - it takes up too much space in the menubar. Yah yah, I know I can resize it and I could even hide the search field if I wanted to. The problem with the first option (resizing the field) is that it still takes up space in my menubar. The problem with the second option (hiding the search field) is that a simple click of the magnifying glass doesn't return me to the last used search source.

What I would really like is to hide the search field and upon clicking the magnifying glass, the search field slides into view and I can then type in my search. An X could be placed on the right side of the search field in place of the site icon. Clicking this X would again close the search field so only the magnifying glass is visible until I click the magnifying glass again where the search field then slides into view.

That would be truly efficient.

Another Launcher is the way!! I almost shelled out the cash for this before I remembered about AL.
Check it out it rocks!

Much of the functionality of this app is present in *Another Launcher*. The big difference is that iSeek costs $15 and Another Launcher costs $0.

This is not at all like Another Launcher, this allows you to easily customize search engines, which AL only allows you to choose from a list. The only thing that iSeek urgently NEEDS, is for the individual sites' Hotkeys to function only AFTER you activate iSeek itself. (SearchBar does this) Because otherwise, whenever I want to use my regular keyboard shortcuts for other programs, iSeek overides them. Otherwise, this is truly a beautiful and easy to use search tool.

iSeek is a handy little program for Mac OS X that allows you to instantly search for anything you seek, no matter what program you are running. iSeek puts a familiar search field in your menu bar, needing just a click or keystroke to start your search!

iSeek's slick and seamless interface hides a significant amount of power and convenience. iSeek is no mere front-end to Google, it will ship with pre-configured search shortcuts for dozens of useful Internet resources. Look up a word definition in the dictionary, or a synonym in the thesaurus, or even famous quotes that reference the word. Search for information on Google, in popular news sites such as the BBC News, MacNN.com, or even search for software on MacUpdate.com.

Anything that is searchable on the Internet can be added to iSeek as a search shortcut that's available in a snap, and your recent searches are saved, too, for even quicker access. The real power of iSeek is that it is also highly configurable: you can add whatever search sites you find useful, and easily share them with your friends.
