How to get Google Quick Search Box in Windows 7

July 29th, 2010 | Knowledge Transfer, Tools | Chris | View Comments

This annoyed me because I couldn’t find a clear answer by Googling. I saw it show up when I used Google Pack on a new laptop, so I knew there was a way to get it. So for those wondering, here’s how:

Install Google Toolbar for IE 8.

That’s it. You don’t even have to use IE or the toolbar, just install it. Simple, no?

Enjoy!

Side note: for those wondering “What the crap is Google Quick Search Box?!” it’s just a useful little tool that sits on your windows taskbar. You hit Ctrl+Space to bring it up, and can use it to search the web, open programs, or do any number of other useful things. It’s different from Google Desktop in that it doesn’t index or cache the files on your computer.
