I use google toolbar many times daily

especially the "blog this" button
which is  a handy way of generating html links when hand coding web pages

EG

<a 
href="http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/census/uk/default.aspx">UK

Census Collection - Ancestry.co.uk</a>

therefore I never use Safari becaue it only has a search box

site:www.ancestry.co.uk library
is another example of a tool bar button looking at static pages of a
website

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww.ancestry.co.uk+library&btnG=Google+Search

or
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&q=site%3Awww.ancestry.co.uk+index&btnG=Search

which led me to some more LAPHAM in Ireland for my one-name study
