Search Engine Toolbars
Most well known search engines now offer a 'toolbar' containing a multitude of different features. The toolbar is placed at the top of your web browser and is used specifically for the search engine it has been obtained for.
Depending on what you want as a surfer these toolbars can be very useful; saving searches for later use, showing analytical data on the web sites you view and much more.
