This is cool – go to Google and type “weather: [your hometown]” to get the weather from Google. Here it is for Boulder.
Since I use Quick Search (scroll down to “Internet Explorer 5 Web Accessories” – specific Google instructions are at the bottom of this page), I just type ctrl-o to get the “Open file:” dialog, then type in the search query.
Quick Search is a really useful utility – I search Google probably 30+ times per day and I don’t even have to use a mouse to go to a toolbar or click a bookmark. The only downside is that I never see Google’s home page, so I miss the clever holiday logos.
