Description: A panel applet that utilizes configured web shortcuts in kde to perform searches from the panel bar.Last changelog:
*Changed to kdeimprovement vice other utility.
KDeskBar 1.2 13 Jan 2006
Added focus and auto select all text after choosing a new engine.
KDeskBar 1.1 07 Jan 2006
Fixed the bar so that it would show the icon above the editbox with the word Search. Also prevented resetting the engine to google if nothing is selected from the popup menu.
Hmm I don't know if this exists in 3.4.x and below, but if you go to:
Control Center -> KDE Components -> Component Chooser;
You can set the Web Browser to what you want... ie firefox, opera, or whatever.
Once that is set, the KDeskBar will open the search in the default browser.
Hope that helps. :)
I updated it so that it displays properly on larger panels, if that's what you were refering to?
Only problem is that it doesn't display well on vertical panels.

Is there a way to change the browser to firefox? Or some config file where these things can be added/changed?

A really cool app. But the button does not completely integrates into kicker, doesn't it?
