What's New
Version 3.0: Now a Universal Binary for Intel Macs.
I don't undertsand why this widget is so huge. All you need is a search bar that expands to show the search results. Also, a wifi network monitor is completely unneeded as there are several others available that are smaller and therefore take up less dashoard space. I'd love to see a more simplified version of this widget in the future. Until then, I'll just be searching via their website. Thanks anyway.

nice widget. however, it continually crashes on my computer, so had to delete it. OSX 10.4.2.
Thanks. Tried a fresh download, turned off all other widgets, restarted, installed Jiwire, still crashing...
Must be an incompatibility with something I have running. Too bad, and I haven't enough time to do more testing.
