The Article
Mountain View, California - (Website Hosting Directory) - December 20, 2007 - Google has released its latest version of its Toolbar for Internet Explorer, with a beta version available in US-English. The new Google Toolbar is designed to make browsing the Internet simpler and more efficient with integrated Google search and other web tools.
Google Toolbar was developed to:
- Add Google Gadgets
- Fill in forms with a single click
- Access your Toolbar from any computer
- Clip and collect content while browsing
- Get suggestions for broken links
Google has made a number of announcements over the last few months about Google Gadgets as it works to make them universally available and today's release is no exception. Universal Google Gadgets now work from Google Toolbar and give users access to additional tools, functionality and content right from the browser. For developers, Google Toolbar is now an additional channel to distribute gadgets, especially ones designed to interact with the websites users visit.
For example, Google Product Search gadget can be used to browse for holiday gifts. After adding this gadget, users can select the name of a product on any web page, hit the 'shopping cart' button on the Google Toolbar, and see purchase options for that item sorted by price. Users can click on any search result link to go directly to the merchant's site.
Holiday online shopping is also easier with the Toolbar's AutoFill feature, which lets users fill out web forms with a single click using address and contact information saved with the Toolbar. This new version has better accuracy, allows users to preview the filled-in form and even maintain multiple profiles. For example, someone who gets packages shipped to both home and office can set up a different profile for each address.
Now Toolbar settings are not locked to a single computer: users can save them online and access bookmarks, custom buttons and other preferences from any Google Toolbar. Users who move between home and office, or are installing Toolbar on a new computer, can retrieve all their settings instantly by signing in to their Google Account.
Saving links is a way to be able to keep track of key pages, and now with Google Notebook as part of Toolbar, users can collect, organize and share more information from the web including text and images. This integration makes it easier and more efficient to do all kinds Internet research from planning a vacation to comparison shopping.
Instead of getting the usual 404 or DNS error page if they mistype a web address or if a site is down, users will see suggestions for top related pages. This feature is similar to the ''did you mean?'' function when you do a Google search. This new version of Google Toolbar 5 also includes full keyboard access and support for Windows accessibility API's.
With the largest index of websites available on the World Wide Web and the industry's most advanced search technology, Google Inc. delivers the fastest and easiest way to find relevant information on the Internet. Google's technological innovations have earned the company numerous industry awards and citations, including two Webby Awards; two WIRED magazine Readers Raves Awards; Best Internet Innovation and Technical Excellence Award from PC Magazine; Best Search Engine on the Internet from Yahoo! Internet Life; Top Ten Best Cybertech from TIME magazine; and Editor's Pick from CNET. A growing number of companies worldwide, including Yahoo! and its international properties, Sony Corporation and its global affiliates, AOL/Netscape, and Cisco Systems, rely on Google to power search on their websites. A privately held company based in Mountain View, Calif., Google's investors include Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers and Sequoia Capital.
