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.
