I heard that Konqueror was supposed to have a Google search bar in KDE 3.3, but I can't find it anywhere in the preferences. The only way I can search Google through the UI alone is to type "gg:my search keywords" into the location bar, but that seems a bit cumbersome. Is that really the new Google search bar or is there one more akin to Firefox's Google bar?

I sometimes have that thing pop up in the file manager... really annoying, and I haven't turned it on or off..

Configure Toolbars, Location toolbar <searchbar>, select Search bar on the left side and put it on the right side.

This came up in the topic about removing it.

And that's why you can set a default search engine in the configuration dialog (under web shortcuts). :) That's the way it should be. IMHO a google bar is superfluous.

Man I love that feature, not to mention all the other stuff you can type in there. (ggg, dict, imbd, apps, just to name a few!)

That toolbar just takes up screen space. :) IMHO of course.
