Administrators can manage the software from a single point

BURLINGAME, CALIF. - Google dominates the search business, but it wants even more. Today the company rolls out yet another new product--a search toolbar geared toward businesses--and it has updated its popular existing desktop toolbar.

The desktop toolbar--essentially a pint-sized window designed to sit on an Internet browser frame--makes an easy entry point for initial searches. But Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) is also making the application more useful for other chores.

“We’re focused on making the toolbar more personal and relevant to each individual user,” says Sundar Pichai, group product manager for Google.

Google's updated toolbar is compatible with Microsoft's (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Internet Explorer and features customizable buttons that can visit and search specific sites and automatically update with new feeds.
