True, but "gg:" etc do clog up the drop-down and autocomplete history of the location bar. Putting them in a separate bar is better since you can set that bar not to autocomplete. Also, since Firefox, Safari and many ISP-customized versions of IE have a Search bar it's something people are expecting to find now. I know I'll be using it once 3.3 comes out since I'm a little tired of all the pointless gg: entries in my autocomplete history. I'll tell you what is clutter though - the cut/copy/paste and other such buttons that have little or no place on a browser, certainly not by default. > Maybe there could be a "new user's wizard/guide" that tells people > how to use such less visible features and where to enable things like > the google search bar, be they needed, instead of enabling redundant > features by default. Not official, but there is this page I assembled: http://david.jamesnet.ca/kde/konqueror.html Cheers, -- David P James Ottawa, Ontario http://david.jamesnet.ca ICQ: #42891899, Jabber: davidpjames@xxxxxxxxxx If you've lost something, you had to lose it, not loose it.
