Searched through the current comments and didn't find what I was looking for, so I'd like to request a couple of features if I may:

1. I've just discovered the My Local function and love it. I'm on the road quite a lot and this will become invaluable in finding gas stations, motels, etc. The only problem is, every time I search, I'm going to be in a different place. The only way it seems to reset my current location is if I Shift+Middle Click the My Local button, which frankly, is a pain.

Personally, I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts for my most-used searches -- the functionality I find most useful about the Googlebar. For My Local, I've set Alt+Enter. It would be great to have a "Remember my location" option; that way, I could uncheck it and I would be asked for my location each time.

2. As a writer, I use Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com most often. Could you puh-lease add a thesaurus search option? Currently, I have to enter my word, hit Ctrl+Enter to search the dictionary, then click on their thesaurus link -- an additional and annoying step.

Love the Googlebar!
