If you regularly use your browser’s search box at the top right to search for Google on any other search engine, you can also have that search box on your Windows 7 Taskbar to eliminate those extra seconds when conducting searches.
This brief tutorial will show you how to add the browser address bar to the Windows 7 taskbar and then use it to search the Internet without opening the browser.
Here are the steps.
Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and select “Properties” to open the “Taskbar and start menu properties” window.
Switch to the “Toolbars” tab, tick the “Address” toolbar to add to the taskbar. Click OK.
The newly added “Address” bar is now added right next to the system tray. You can simply enter the directory path or website address to go. When you type some words, the “Search…” box will pop up, just click on it to start searching.
By default, Windows 7 will use Bing to help you complete tasks. If you want to use Google, Yahoo or even topic-specific search engines like Amazon, you can follow our guide to change the default search provider in internet explorer. And that’s only if IE is your default browser.
If you have Firefox or Chrome as your default browser, you will get the corresponding address bar there and thus can easily search the internet using it.
