What's New

Version 1.3 adds the following:

Added german localization (David Kiltz)
Rewrote entirely the Preferences panel, it now looks like a real Mac OS X application's preferences panel
Added the ability to add separators to the the engines menu
Added the ability to sort the engines by name, and by drag and drop
Added frtracker.com (http://www.frtracker.com)
Added dogpile.com (http://www.macplus.net)
Added WQXR Grove Music (http://www.wqxr.com/cgi-bin/iowa/cla/learning/grove.html)
Added dogpile.com (http://www.dogpile.com)
Added osxfacile.com (http://www.osxfacile.com)
Added frtracker.com (http://www.frtracker.com)
Added chezmarc.com (http://www.chezmarc.com)
You can now have neither the icon in the menu bar nor the icon in the dock (beware though, you really should set a HotKey first, or it's going to be hard to get SearchBar back to the foreground if you close the window)
Fixed bug that caused the incorrect window to reappear when relaunching SearchBar (vertical/horizontal big/small)
Fixed bug that caused the position of the horizontal SearchBar window to be used in place of the vertical's Note: there is more to come to customize the engines menu, just hold on! I really wanted to get a new version quickly with this updated preferences panel, that's why there is still some work on my to do list. I say 'some' but there is a lot of work left actually (see the To Do section for more info on what's next).

I like the app a lot. Nice design, I think they've hit the nail on the head!

Not a bad program. Nice interface and I like the way it sits in the menubar, however the reviewer below has a point. Hopefully see this feature included in the next release.

Still no customisation option which makes it pretty useless unless you're into all things U.S. Where's the choice to put non-U.S. search engines in?

Great for a free app. I would highly recommend this easy to use app. By my count, there are 47 different search engines/sites included in this program. Kudos to the designer.
