Search, plus the full complement of Yahoo! services.Google Toolbar with Autolink feature.

Autolink detects the presence of specific kinds of information on the current Web page and -- by pressing the Autolink button on the Toolbar -- links to related or lookup information for that item.Firefox search extensions. Add WorldCat searching to the Search Bar of the popular open-source Web browser Firefox. From an ever-present browser pane, you can enter your search terms and select the search engine to be queried.
