Another simple but very useful utility. ShadowGoogle puts a floating text box on your screen. Click in the box, type a search term, hit enter, and your browser pops up with the Google search results page.

You can configure whether to look on the web, in groups, or for images via a hot-key selection, and you can also specify in which languages to restrict your searches.

ShadowGoogle has earned a permanent spot on my desktop. It's much easier to find the text box than to always go hunting for a browser window...
