Product Description:

Jack of All Widgets is a multi-site search tool. It provides quick access to dozens of commonly used web searches. It allows the user to type in a search and send it to one or more of dozens of different websites. The websites can be chosen by popup menu, or specified in the search itself (command-line style). The widget activates Safari and executes the search(es). It has over two dozen searches built in, and is infinitely customizable (if you know how to open a widget package and edit XML files).

What's new in this version:

2.1 - Widget instances now remember their search settings when the Dashboard layer is restarted. (Essentially this means you can open several instances of the widget, choose different searches on the popup menu, log out, log back in, go to the Dashboard layer, and each instance of the widget will remember which search was selected in the popup.) Added tooltips to the search field. Allows you to see the hint for the search even when there is text in the field. Added jux2 to simultaneously search Google, Yahoo and MSN, and added Melissadata.com to the address to latitude and longitude search.
