It does not act as the actual Google Toolbar? I mean: It does not submit any record of what websites I visit, etc. to Google, Inc?

Docking is required.

Can't have a toolbar with its own window.

The description that pops up as the mouse cursor hovers over the different icons is rough and ugly. It shouldn't be black, it should be light yellow, smaller, and only appear after you hover over an icon for more than a second or two. (mimic he Windows UI)

Otherwise, great job!

Google bookmarks button !!

Suggested feature: Google Bookmarks button. For Firefox, there's a really popular add-on called GMark. An emulation, or even an imitation of it would be fantastic.

Having perused google's selection of gadgets for Google Desktop and widgets for Opera, I can't help but notice the prominence of your Google Toolbar for Opera and its corrosponding cousin in GD. Essentially, I'm saying that you, gabydewilde, are a leading developer and your work has enormous influence on the lives and productivity on others. I think we all appreciate the time and effort spent on your service.

New feature please: Button for "Search in current site". much easier than having to type "query site:www.example.com"

I've used local bookmarks for years and can't count the number of times I've lost them. I've begun using Google bookmarks and can now access them where ever I am. It's a tremendous benefit, would be most grateful to see it added.

A button for Answers.com please!

I have 1280 x 800. The search box and text is tiiiiiiny. Difficult to correct spelling or even read it.

By polyphem355, # Mar 9, 2007 8:47:04 AM

excellent widget, pl add google bookmark button in next version. 'll really be helpful.

By Hopera, # Mar 2, 2007 9:26:17 AM

Really good idea, but it too big

By cowboys, # Feb 26, 2007 2:23:49 AM

It doesn't fit in a 1024 x 768 laptop window properly. If it is to emulate the official Google toolbar for IE, it should dock into the top of th eOpera window, not sit behind it which requires more clicking of the mouse, movement of the hands, etc. As you get older, it will be more important to you to minimize hand/finger movements.

By t2000kw, # Jan 6, 2007 4:34:29 PM

Right, since its not official. Will be great help if you add MSN, Yahoo and Lycos search.

By manwanis, # Jan 4, 2007 6:52:32 PM

Its a beauty .... its gold.

If you could add like --
press alt+G -- and it would search in google
press alt+Y -- and it would search in yahoo
that would help a mouse avoider like me, it would be like diamond on gold
:-Q
And again if I could choose the shortcut then it would be like diamond on platinum
LOL

Firefox had a downloadable Google toolbar. One feature was the "translate" command, allowing you to hover your cursor over a word, and a little box appeared under your cursor with the translation in another pre-selected language. Now that I'm with Opera, translating is much more involved, clicking words, selecting languages, and opening new windows. Is there any way of getting the original Google translate option in Opera?
