Microsoft Corp.'s MSN Internet division has developed a search toolbar that users can add to their Web browsers via a free download.
The MSN Toolbar's main feature is its search form, from which users can perform Web searches. It also provides shortcuts to MSN services, such as the Hotmail e-mail service, the MSN Messenger instant messaging service and the My MSN customizable home page for the MSN Web portal.
The MSN Toolbar can also be configured to block Web pop-up ads, which annoy many users. Users who choose to turn on the pop-up blocker can tweak it to allow certain ads to be displayed. The toolbar also features a Highlight Viewer, which highlights search term in pages that are retrieved after running a query from the search form.
The toolbar, which is in beta mode now, sits underneath the browser's address bar, and is similar to competing toolbars from rivals Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc.
Once installed, the toolbar will be updated automatically by Microsoft without the need for further downloads.
