You know, I have been working with Google Desktop, with Quicksilver and Spotlight and have found it really great for searching the internet using only keystrokes. I mean, it's only really a preference thing, but if you are typing away and don't want to pull up your browser, then just two taps will take you to your search. If you are signed into google already, then you have the added bonus of a specialized, or "learned" search, and if you are worried about privacy, then you can have an alternate account for searching. Since most of my day is spent researching, I find it very useful.
