Here's a few more ideas for searches that would work well in DQSD
through an alternative view-port (some of which may require addins in
order to be feasible):
* Color-picker
* Volume control/Equalizer (mp3 player?)
* anything requiring one or more drop-down menus for
interactive value assignment
* Live stock ticker
* progress bar (tracking progress of downloads or any
action that exposed state via class events)
* Live stats (my personal site provides methods to pull
current activity in a very short (3 lines) "quick stats"
page, it could be reduced even more and stuffed in DQSD
- I can't be the only one that would do this - and it
could still be HTML, providing direct links to the
page(s), post(s) and file(s) listed)
* News highlights/RSS ticker
* Quote-of-the-day, tip-of-the-day, word-of-the-day, and
other -of-the-day type things
* "Multiple state displays" - ie; display several table
cells including two or more of a clock, screen resolution,
current login user name, uptime, free memory, running
tasks, SQL Server connections...
* button-face calculator (granted, _very_small_ buttons :)
* interactive clipboard manager (could even persist beyond
sessions if done right)
...all of those could display directly within the DQSD toolbar with
little more than a bit of DHTML. No new browser window would need to
be opened. I believe it would make it more functional in the sense
that it's not perceived as simply a "start button" for finding/doing
something on the internet but can serve many of your "needs" -
directly - locally.
