Google Advanced Operations Toolbar for Windows

The utilitarian design of this toolbar isn't impressive, but it does put some of Google's advanced search features right at your fingertips.

Google Advanced Operations Toolbar has a plain pull-down menu and button interface that was obviously untouched by a designer. It holds a search field and advanced Google search options for looking up words or terms in specific areas. But that's about it. The rest of the toolbar is a lot of wasted space, and we weren't happy that it couldn't be resized. Still the toolbar worked well and without any issues.

If you're a frequent user of Google's advanced search features, and don't mind another toolbar crowding your view, then this free add-on will save you a few steps.
