In fact, it’s almost here.  We’re currently testing it out right now, and if all goes well, it will be available to the public in just a few days.

What makes a search gadget “Ultimate?”  Well, the search of course.  There are roughly nine different sites to search, most with multiple search options so you can take full advantage of the gadget.  The major idea behind this gadget was that while we could use web based search fo various things like Yahoo! or Google (opting to do so to avoid the nasty use of iFrames), we went out of our way to add in gadget based search in any place we could.  This includes Amazon, Drugstore, eBay, Digg, and YouTube.

 YouTube?!?

That’s right, with this gadget, you can get Play Videos On your Desktop.  With the world spinning so fast, we felt it was a good idea to start moving towards the Holy Grail of search gadgetry:  To bring the search closer to the user.  To be able to search what you need, when you need it, and display that information in an easy to use, easy to access, and easy to read or watch format.  Video and news are just the next logical step.  Web search may be next if we can find a better way than is currently available.

Stay tuned, it’s coming soon.
