Bug Description

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

Deskbar comes with a Yahoo search extension.

I propose to add a Google search extension to Deskbar.
Many people prefer Google over Yahoo.

It would be easy to create one since one for Yahoo already exists.

I second this idea. Google is the most popular search engine, and this will be a highly beneficial addition to the deskbar-applet.

I think If we add one search engine we should add a few popular search engines, or an option for the user to configure a search engine or there choice.

But, having some search engine from the Deskbar is a good idea.
