DESCRIPTION

Google Quick Search Box is an open source search box that allows you to search data on your computer and across the web.

This app is very experimental, but through it you will be able to see many of the areas we are exploring: contextual search, actions, and extensibility. It is by no means feature-complete, but is a very good indication of things to come.

	Jun 10 2009	HEEPFAN Brilliant! Far less complex than QuickSilver but does a great deal. Would be nice to have triggers that would search only a certain context but I will use this frequently. Plug-in support will make this HUGE. Probably not my favorite way to search the web but I prefer this to Spotlight for finding apps and documents on my hard drive. Everyone should give it a try.

	Jun 10 2009	ROBOTANK Very nice. It's not nearly as versatile and QuickSilver and Launchbar for local operations, but it excels with its web page and search suggestions. It also has some other nice little touches, like displaying dictionary definitions in the search box or in large type. For me, QSB won't replace LaunchBar (especially since I already paid for the version 5 upgrade), but I will use it for certain functions it performs better. (Version 2.0.0.1447)		+2

	Jun 10 2009	PROSPERO Looks very promising. Until now I used LB and was about to pay the upgrade fee. Now I hesitate as I think QSB has quite some potential. Lets see how the plugins roll in ... Could very well be the next QS. In contrary to the reviewer before I don´t think that the interface is ugly ... it´s reduced to what you need ... nothing more and nothing less ....

	Sep 30 2009	ZO219 Excellent quick app launcher with a memory. Faster than Launchbar, and unlike Spotlight, I can make a typo and it still works. (Version 2.0.0.1447)		+1

	Jun 16 2009	E_COMMERCE An excellent product, but fatally flawed in one simple way - how asinine is it that when launched on login it opens the search box? When I boot my computer, I don't want to see the search box unbidden. (Version 2.0.0.1447)		+1

MARTINBB Go to Preferences > Basics.

Where it says "Open Quick Search Box at login", click the button to unselect this option.

ULYSSESRIC No, the "Open search box at login" checkbox simple add/remove Google Quick Search Box from your login items list. It won't help to prevent search box from pop-up when application launched.
