Hi Alistair, Thanks for getting back. No I don't have Bearshare on my PC. Just to add to what I said earlier, this edit box also appears at the top of a couple of text editors I'm trying to use. So, I launch the text editor, and if I start writing straight away I discover I'm writing in this annoying searchbox and not in the document at all. This is how it appears from a jaws user perspective. Any thoughts from anyone much appreciated. Anything to look out for in Add/Remove software or in my browser menus? Could this be something to do with Google gadgets? I've got a whole directory of Google tools landed in My Documents folder under a sub folder called 'My Google Dagets'. No reference to it in Add/Remove software though. I'm confused.
