How can I configure deskbar-applet to put a search box in my panel, that acts the same way as the box that appears when you click the magnifying glass icon? I have seen this done before on a previous distribution I briefly used. Thanks.

The Deskbar developer decided to remove that option from the applet, so it's not possible any more. :/

Nice... Well thanks for letting me know, anyway. Are there any alternatives that anybody is aware of?

What I can't understand is why Deskbar won't search with the latest version of Firefox - I've got 3.0.1 installed, and Deskbar apparently will only do web and history searches with versions 2.0.0.0 to 3.0.0.0

Surely most Ubuntu users have accepted the latest Fx update?

thanks for this info. It's really a pity they removed the best option. :-(
