CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

There's a whole host of handy tools for searching the Web, clearing on- and offline traces, filling in Web forms, and more in this jam-packed toolbar.

Lookster Toolbar throws a wide range of buttons, menus, and search tools onto a toolbar that only fits in your browser if you take off the text labels. That actually improves the appearance of the toolbar and you'll still have tool tips to help you use the features.

The toolbar promotes the Lookster search engine and Web directory, but it also gives you access to Google, Yahoo, and other sites for lookups. There's a highlight tool that instantly spotlights your search terms on the page, and you can use the pull-down menu to go back to previous searches. If you set up the toolbar to check your e-mail, you can also use it to send Web pages to your friends or family. The extras include quick access to clear Internet history, cookies and auto-fill data, in addition to emptying the Recycle Bin and removing other offline traces. The only weak area is the links icon, which only has two options, one for arcade games and one for ringtones, and doesn't allow you to add others. Still, everything worked nicely with this toolbar's many features, and our testers gave it a "thumbs up" across the board.

It doesn't have a weather checker or allow you to add or remove buttons, but Lookster Toolbar is an impressive, free IE add-on.
