Search Local Toolbar 8

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

An interesting take on the browser-based search companion, Search Local Toolbar delivers results based on the city you enter on installation. A pop-up blocker is included here, but many may not realize that they must press the Pops button to initiate it. This little extra has no options to configure, but it did a good job of blocking unwanted windows in our tests. Overall, the toolbar doesn't hinder Web surfing. Features such as weather, travel, and classifieds are targeted to U.S. and Canadian inhabitants only. We'd recommend this program to anyone with a consistent need for geographically specific searches.
