Awesome thread!!! Thanks so much MUAD DIB!
I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of the phrase 'Quick Search' in the toolbar. It would definitely free up some screen space. Any thoughts?
Dave's Quick Search Installed on W7 7100 64 bit

The bar was installed properly on Windows 7 64bit and all net-based searches I tried seem to work.
However, when I try to access the "note" function, I get a "an error has occurred in the scipt on this page" Line 11 Char 5 Error Unspecified Error, Code 0, URL: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Quick%20Search%20Deskbar/defer_tools.js.
Any help with this would be appreciated.

Just an FYI.
I had a need to install Daves Quick Search on Vista Ultimate 64-bit. As I suspected the installation instructions as written apply to Vista 64-bit as well.

I've just tried to install DavesQuickSearch - x64-4100-beta on my Win7 64-bit. The installation seems to have worked because I have the Quick Search ToolBar. But, no matter what I type in the search area it opens up my default browser (SeaMonkey) with file:///C:/Users/NEILSW~1/AppData/Local/Temp/DQSDLaunch.html in the address bar.
Can any one please help???

I am not familiar with SeaMonkey.
The DQSDLaunch.html is the means by which DQS passes command parameters to the browser search engine, I believe. SeaMonkey may not pick up the parameters.
1) Try entering "newegg.com" into DQS. This should make DQS have the browser go directly to the www.newegg.com web page. What happens? Try cnn.com, etc to be sure other direct web page entries work.
2) Did you try making the change to force Daves Quick Search to use the IE 32 bit broswer? If not, backup your copy of Tools.js. Make the change. Does that work?

Muad Dib,
When I tried "newegg.com" everything worked correctly.
I've also discovered that DQSDLaunch.html works correctly when erither IE8, FireFox, or Chrome is the default driver. (This is the first time in all the years that I've been using SeaMonkey that I found some HTML that runs in FireFox and does not run in SeaMonkey.)
I also tyried the following edits to tools.js
1) browserPath = "\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe";
if (launchmode != 0 && browserPath.toLowerCase().indexOf("iexplore.exe") > 0) useExternalBrowser = true;
2) browserPath = "D:\Program Files\BROWSERS\SeaMonkey2\seamonkey.exe";
if (launchmode != 0 && browserPath.toLowerCase().indexOf("seamonkey.exe") > 0) useExternalBrowser = true;

Hmmm.... and SeaMonkey still does not work?
Well if DQS is working correctly with IE8, Firefox and Chrome but not SeaMonkey then the problem lies with SeaMonkey. I did a quick websearch on DQS and SeaMonkey but could not find any posts describing any problem. None that stated it does OR does NOT work.
Is it possible there is a setting in SeaMonkey that needs to be turned on/off? Maybe something security related or some "allow scripts" type of setting?
If your edit to Tools.js that forces it to use IE8 does work then you can just use IE8 for DQS searches (yes I know that is not your preferred answer).
I will check some more but cannot think of why Firefox and Chrome will work but SeaMonkey will not...
