Google search box in OSX Menu Bar?

Question

Google search box in OSX Menu Bar?

I saw somewhere a way to add a Google search box into the OSX main menu bar (i.e. where the clock, airport, battery, sync, and other system icons reside). But now I can't find my way back to that information. Anybody know how to do this?

MacBook Pro (2008), Mac OS X (10.5.2), 2.6 GHz, 4GB RAM, 512 MB VRAM, 17" Hi-Res, 7200 RPM

You need a 3rd party app for that. there are probably several. I use an app launcher called [Butler|http://www.manytricks.com/butler>. Among many other cool things it places a google search box it the menu bar.
