The following procedure describes how Warp users of NSC 4.61 can add a rapid search feature (Google Search) to the Personal Toolbar of NSC. It was posted by me to the FidoNet International OS2 echo on 16 Dec.

Here's a tip which I picked up from The TOURBUS today. If you are not familiar with that pub, never mind, just listen up. This procedure will result in the addition of a Google Search button on your Netscape 4.5+ Personal toolbar, so first check to see if you have the
personal toolbar active (I didn't). It adds an icon line just below the URL Address box. With Netscape loaded, click on View ==> Show and see if Personal Toolbar is 'marked' if so, OK. If not, click on it to
mark it, and the toolbar will be added below your Address Box. Now log on to:

http://www.google.com/options/macnetscape.html


And follow the directions on that page, and you will wind up dragging a link "Google Search" to your Personal Toolbar, where it will take up residence. Why the MAC Netscape installation page? Because Google
only supports WIN, Mac and Linux (for both IE and Netscape). Since there was no OS2 support, I tried the Mac-Netscape 4.5 page (URL above) and it worked for me, and I suspect it will for you using OS/2-Netscape 4.61.

Having added the button on your toolbar, when logged onto ANY web page, and you spot a phrase that you want to run-by a search on Google, just hilite the phrase with your mouse, and click on the new button. Voila! {^; In a few seconds you are seeing the result of the
search on Google. In that same situation, but =not= seeing a phrase worth marking, just click on the new button, and up pops a box in which you can enter your search criteria and start the search, without ever needing to go thru the mechanics of logging onto the Google.com site. Neat? Life is good.
