Google Toolbar Can Browse By Name

Google Toolbar Can Browse By Name:
"The Google Toolbar's new Browse by Name feature, introduced on Wednesday, takes the concept of searching from the browser address bar and kicks it up a notch. Now, to search, you simply type the name or description of the site you're looking for. If there's a strong match, Google will go straight to that page. For example, 'new york times', 'ben and jerry', 'john kerry' and 'strong bad' all zoom directly to the appropriate page. "


When there's no single obvious match, you haven't lost anything—you still get a standard Google search results page. Browse by Name is especially useful when the URL you're searching for is not obvious. For example, Browse by Name on "Muir Woods" brings up the National Park Service's site, www.nps.gov/muwo.
