Rather than waste the screen real-estate with the Google toolbar, I just use an IE shortcut. By adding a few entries into the windows registry, you can search google using the IE address field. For example, to search for "Monty Python", just type g "Monty Python". Here's the registry modification:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl]
"provider"=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\G]
@="http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q=%s&safe=images&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&lr=lang_en&num=50&as_scoring=d&hl=en"

A shortcut to any url can be created. My google shortcut also sets the language to English and the return count to 50.
