Post Factum Toolbar

If you have the Google Toolbar installed (and you should), you might notice a curious fact. The Toolbar's keyword box displays the keywords you most recently entered at the Google site. Even though you didn't use the Toolbar, it behaves as if you did. Not only are the keywords displayed in the search box, they appear as toolbar icons for highlighting, just as they do when you search using the Toolbar. (See Chapter 9 for a rundown of all Toolbar features.) In other words, the Toolbar behaves egotistically, as if it were always the means of your Google search, even when you launch your keywords from the Google site.

This Toolbar behavior is worth remembering because those highlight icons are so darn handy - one of the Toolbar's best features, really. Clicking a keyword icon repeatedly skips the highlight from one instance of the keyword on a Web page to the next instance. Clicking the Highlight button (it looks like a yellow marker on the Toolbar) highlights all instances of all keywords on the Web page.

Of course, the synergy between Google's site and the Toolbar works in reverse, too: Keywords entered in the Toolbar are displayed in Google's keyword box on the search results page.
