Lensman how about adding this...
 

Grabbed this from someone else's post.. But it'd help here?

It is one of those toolbars like yahoo, google, nasdaq or ebay have available. I set it up so my members can go direct to any of my forum and search from the toolbar that installs right onto IE. While the very small sites with few members don't need this it is awesome for the medium to larger sites members.

It was $99 and took maybe 10 minutes to build online right through the companies website. http://www.customtoolbar.com

Now I'm going to try and work with the developer to integrate some direct tie ins to VB which will be posted over at vb.org whenever I can get them done. Things like PM notice on the bar, integrated chat, streaming text ticker and some other good stuff.

Though this one is free..
