This indispensable utility has become as much a part of my daily computer usage as LaunchBar, Yasu, NetNewsWireLite, etc. Before when I was using Firefox, I didn't really feel a need for this utility because Firefox offers its own search plug-ins. However, I've now switched to Camino because its speed is noticeably faster on my machine, and so I was looking for a quick way to perform web searches. I tried using Ranchero Software's Huevos, however adding websites was not entirely easily for me. I also preferred the easy access of iSeek through the menu bar.

Even with a high-speed connection, iSeek makes surfing the web 10x faster and more efficient. Along with doing quick and easy searches at Google, Amazon, Mac-related websites, etc, you can also track UPS codes with it and search for recipes at AllRecipes.com. Ambrosia also maintains a (growing) list of websites that you can add, if you need them. Overall, a great product that's definitely worth the $$.
