This is fantastic! I try to keep only neccesities in my toolbar - but I think this ones staying. I noticed the left pulldown menu was a bit small to display some of the longer site names. This is easy enough to resolve if you have the developer tools installed. Specifically interface builder.

1. Right click on Searchling - select "Show Package Contents"
2. Navigate to /Contents/Resources/English.lproj
3. Double click on "MainMenu.nib" and Interface Builder application should open.
4. Two windows will open - in one of the windows you should see an icon with the label "QueryBox". Double click that icon.
5. There's your interface - click the left-dropdown menu and handles will appear to resize as you desire.

You can also change the dimensions of the search field itself and the right-hand dropdown menu if you desire.

BTW - I have boycotted VT since they started making you jump through hoops to get software updates. I now use MacUpdate - direct download links - like VT used to be. Here's the xml for MacUpdate:

<dict>
<key>name</key>
<string>MacUpdate</string>
<key>types</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>type</key>
<string>MacOS X</string>
<key>url</key> <string>http://macupdate.com/search.php?button.x=12&amp;button.y=10&amp;os=macosx&amp;keywords=</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>type</key>
<string>Classic</string>
<key>url</key> <string>http://macupdate.com/search.php?button.x=12&amp;button.y=10&amp;os=macos&amp;keywords=</string>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>

Anyone know how to setup a search for the MacOSXHints Forums? I am pretty familiar with setting these things up - but I have never been able to figure teh Forums out - sure it must be something simple too.
