  Doing Without the Browser
Time: 10:56 EST/15:56 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein

Some major Web portals are trying to get an edge in the competitive Internet search market by thinking outside of the browser. Net titans Microsoft, Yahoo and EarthLink are all considering broadening their lucrative search businesses by providing access to online searches through a "taskbar" displayed to the side or at the bottom of a PC screen, according to people familiar with the plans. Taskbar search tools are similar to popular toolbar applications that have long been available as browser add-ons, but there is an important difference: They reside in the system tray in Microsoft's Windows operating system, allowing queries independently of the browser or any other applications running on the desktop.
