The Google Toolbar is a small software application that can be downloaded on your computer and run in conjunction with your web browser. The Google Toolbar will install itself beneath your regular toolbar applications so that you can easily and conveniently use its features while browsing the internet. The Google Toolbar currently works with the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox Browsers and has the following features and benefits.

Google Search Box

The Google search box allows you to start a new Google search without having to go back out to google.com.au first. The search box will offer suggestions as you type your keyword terms, let you know if you've spelled something wrong, and even let you see what terms you've previously used in similar searches.
Google Website Access

The Google Toolbar gives you the option of creating buttons for your favorite websites. Those buttons can be placed directly on your toolbar so that you can visit your favorite or most visited sites with a single click instead of searching for them in your bookmarks or typing the page URL. You can choose buttons from Google's gallery or create your own.
Google Sidewiki

Sidewiki is a unique feature that only people using the Google Toolbar can take advantage of. If you are on a website and hit the Sidewiki button in the toolbar you'll have the opportunity to read notes that others have left regarding the website in question. You can even create your own note for others using the Google Toolbar to see.
Google Bookmarks

While it's not uncommon for those browsing the World Wide Web to save web addresses to their browser's bookmark section, it is almost impossible for them to access that bookmark history from any computer other than the one they were on at the time they created the mark. With Google Bookmarks, your bookmarks will be saved to your Google profile. You can then access your bookmarks from any computer provided you have access to your personal Google account.
Google Translation

Have you ever stumbled upon a website not written in English? In the past you would have had to leave the site, enter the URL on Google's translation website homepage, and then wait for results. With the Google Toolbar, you merely have to click on the "Translate" button, choose the language you need, and wait for results. There are currently 42 languages to choose from.

The benefits of the Google Toolbar are monumental, making it easy for those looking for detailed information to find what they need without jumping back and forth to a myriad of sites. The toolbar also has a spell check feature, a form auto fill feature, and can be customised to include only the features you use most. The Google Toolbar is quite possibly the most convenient tool ever developed for Internet users!
