Toolbars

Hi All,
I'm sure this must have already been discussed however I could'nt find anything using the 'search function'...

I've had an e-mail from Microsoft promoting its '[font=Arial, helvetica, sans serif]MSN Search Toolbar with Windows Desktop Search'. I had a look and thought it sounded quite good apart from the fact you have to use Internet Explorer with it. I know that there are other similar tools available (I want to use Firefox). What do people think of these? Are they useful? Which do you recommend?[/font][font=Arial, helvetica, sans serif][/font]

I've never found a toolbar worthwhile with firefox because you can get much more out of extensions - and they don't take up browser space

For fun I made my own toolbar:

I was impressed with the ease I could make one there but I've never installed it. - Don't know if I trust toolbars not to have spyware (google, msn and yahoo aside)
