Google's Other Services - What Internet tools does Google provide?
(Page 5 of 8 )
Along with its growing number of search engine services, Google provides a number of Internet tools, ranging from the well-known Google Toolbar, to web design tools.
Google Toolbar
Probably the best known Google tool is the widely downloaded and used Google Toolbar. Enabling the user to see the Google PageRank of any web pages visited, as well as the Google displayed backlinks for that page, is only part of the story.
The Toolbar also works as a pop-up ad blocker, an automatic form completion editor, restricts searches to only specified countries, and highlights search terms on a page. You can also search the pages within a website, and link a weblog (blog) to any page you are viewing.
The toolbar layout is also customizable to your own needs and specifications.
The languages available for the toolbar, include English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), and Chinese (Traditional). Google promises more languages will be available in the future.
There is no Mac compatible toolbar at this time.
Google Browser Buttons
For those browsers and computer operating systems unable to install the Google Toolbar, there is another option.
You may also customize a regular browser toolbar by adding Google Browser Buttons. They enable the Internet user to take advantage of Google's technology, while avoiding the use of additional screen space by installing another toolbar.
The Google Search Button enables standard Google Internet searches. The Google Scout Button shows web pages that are similar to the one being viewed. In many cases, those sites will be those of a company's direct competitors. The Google.com Button takes the user directly to the Google home page.
