[Tools] Dave's Quick Search Taskbar Toolbar Deskbar

Although my latest favorite Open Source tool was not developed in .NET, it is really cool and has taken its place on my "essentials" list: Dave's Quick Search Taskbar Toolbar. This thingie now meets 99% of my everyday searching needs. I particularly like how I can create my own search functionality with a little XML. They even provide a utility, Dave's Quick Search Deskbar Search Wizard to take care of the most tedious parts of doing so. Initially contributed by David Bau, DQSD now has a "healthy little online development community."

  • Thanks for your link. Favalias is also a cool tool. I do not think it replaces DQSD but, rather, supplements it. I might tend to use Favalias for command line style shortcuts (aliases) to frequently used tools. You had a few things in there that I certainly had not discovered, much to my chagrin. ;) I also like the ability to create addin dlls. Note: Favalias only works with .NET Framework 1.1. All in all, nice job!
