[ge-talk] search on desktop

[Ari Haviv]

I didn't install Google desktop just so i can help google :)
(on the other hand, if it built in haiku i probably would click on every ad
to help haiku :))))

it should be a deskbar replicant. you should be able to remove it if you
want or put it anywhere on your desktop.
It should find things using the default browser. Ideally we would have a
native browser that uses gecko or khtml
but I'm not worried about accidents-you have to actually type in something
and press enter.
