If pink and black is the new white and black, then desktop search is the new toolbar. With everyone and their retarded step sister producing a toolbar, the market was saturated quickly and as Peter Caputa points out, your browser was overtaken by these search driven monsters each more useless than the next. Well head on over to the uninstall panel and get ready to shift all of that browser real estate into the new gold rush item. Desktop search. Google, Yahoo, MSN, and AskJeeves are all looking for the next big thing to search and they think they have found it on your desktop. With Google leading the way (no big surprise), desktop search has burst onto the scene and gotten the search engine community all hot and bothered with it's find anything on your machine super technology. Riding Google's coat-tails, and in classic Microsoft fashion, MSN is set to launch a similar product that is, surprise, only compatible with IE and most likely wrought with bugs and security holes. At least the people who write the Microsoft updates have some job security.
