Widget Watch: Gwidget - a true Google search widget

There are a host of Google search widgets - Mac OS X even shi with one these days. Unfortunately, just about every one of those widgets I've seen simply kicks your search requests out to your default browser, which more or le defeats the purpose of their existence since nearly every browser has their own search field to begin with.

If you've been frustrated by this situation and searching for a Google widget that had the keep-it-to-myself functionality of the Wikipedia widget, widget author Bryan at DashboardWidgets has a arently felt your pain. Bryan's Gwidget is a full-on Google search widget that kee your search results i ide the widget itself (though there is still an option to send the results to your default browser). It can also toggle between searching the Web, Images and News, and it also maintai a list of recent searches for easy acce (*cough* Firefox *cough*).

The widget is nicely done, and one of the most functional Google widgets I've ever seen - outside the Franke teinian Google Browser widget, of course.
