While browsing to Yahoo! this bar on top struck me. Click to enlarge:

Apparently Yahoo! is promoting the Search Bar, which is standard issue in Firefox. Guess they want us to change the default Google setting. 😉

This in turn made me think of the times I used that Search Bar. Probably once, the first time I installed Firefox.
Normally if I want to do a search I hit CTRL+T (new tab) and call up my homepage, which still is the Firefox branded Google homepage. (BTW, ALT+HOME gets you to the homepage.)
It’s an old habit. And you know what they say about old habits…

But thanks to Yahoo! who reminded that there was such a thing as the Search Bar. I’m wondering if and how I can remove it. 🙂

In other news:

• The layout of MSN Search has been updated. The usual blue gradients have made room for a more whitish/grey look.
• Google has partnered with Lenovo to create a special olympic Personalised Homepage. BTW, Google’s going Torino all over the place with doodles, Google Earth & Maps updates on the Turin region, etc.
