For a while now I and my friends have had the Google toolbar installed on
our computers. If there is still someone out there who doesn't have it
installed and working for them, click on http://toolbar.google.com It will
even stop those dreaded popups, and you can get rid of the IE Address Bar
and use Google instead.

We've tried this and it looks useful. Have you found a way to make it
search the web UK only?

Something that seems to work reasonably well on Google is to just add
'uk' (quotes not necessary) to your search terms.

On the Google toolbar you should see the Google name/logo with a small black
triangle to the right of it. Click on this and a drop down menu appears. Go
to "Options" and choose google.co.uk from the drop down menu.

Despite having done this Google still searches world-wide though it does
present an option at the top of the results to repeat the search with
pages from the UK.

Doh!
Thought it was too good to be true.
Downloaded and installed - now IE6 shuts down every time I try to search.
I guess I'll have to turf it out (gardening reference?)

I always add site:.uk to my searches on straight google.com and it
only gives you .uk sites. Course, if they are a uk website but using a
..com domain then they don't turn up. But it does work with the rest.

Google says:
browser randomly crashes. What's up with that?

Do you have other third-party browser plug-ins installed on your
system? Some of these plug-ins don't play so well with the Google
Toolbar (SafariDog is one confirmed example). If you want to continue
using the Google Toolbar, we recommend you uninstall other browser
plug-in software and see if that corrects the problem. We appreciate
your patience while we work on a solution.

Yes, click on Options, far left of the Google toolbar and on the drop-down
menu scroll down and select www.google.co.uk . Click OK. Easy peasy! Did you
know that using the Google toolbar you have access to a pretty impressive
conversion program? It will quickly convert all manner of things including
dollars into pounds and pounds into euros or vice versa. For anyone working
in banking etc., it's a Godsend.

not only that - Google has now become a calculator

type 3 * 2 in and it returns 6
type pi in and you get a numerical value of pi
type k in & you'll discover Boltzmann's constant

etc.

Thanks Jenny!
Sadly, I've got nowt but virgin IE6. I'm going to try again without the
feedback to Google enabled - my system is set up like a WW2 pill-box - not
much can get in or out to the Net, which might be why it falls over...

Which worked!
Glad to say I can now be all google-eyed like the rest of you.
