jacksonj04 Over 9000	Observe how it works: Nothing personal goes to google - I've checked this via. the packet sniffers on my network and packet logs on the gateway - none of the queries I sent went any further than my own machine. GD intercepts Google webpages when they get sent to your machine in order to do the combination searching pages. I'm happy using it - enjoy the "OMG GOOGLE IS T3H UBAR BAD!!!" propaganda if you want, but as far as I'm concerned it's a useful product -- jacksonj04 the generally helpful one Lost, confused or just need a virtual cuddle?

jacksonj04 Over 9000	If future versions send crap to Google so they can send me ads then I really don't care - I don't click any ads regardless of what they are nor do I care about some machine at Google going "ooh, this guy is talking about mass spectrometers! Give him an advert for mass spectrometers!". -- jacksonj04 the generally helpful one Lost, confused or just need a virtual cuddle? PM me. Need urgent help from staff? PM us all.

Karuto	Hey, when someone downloads it, can they post a screenshot of what it looks like? I'm debating whether or not to download it -- "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster." - Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146

chis Old man.	its a very small download may aswell :/ It just builds up a search of wahts on yoru computer and basicly when you want to search your computer you click the icon in the tas bar and it opens up an internal webpage (on your computer) where it basicly looks like google.com and say you search "half-life" it will bring back results of files and folders on your computer under the key words half-life -- Nothing.
