Add Lookster to your browser and search from anywhere on the Web!

Lookster Toolbar

The Lookster Toolbar is an Internet Explorer (IE) plug-in that allows you to search the Web directly from your browser and takes just a few seconds to install. Once installed, it automatically appears along with your IE toolbar. This means you can quickly use your toolbar to search from any website location, without returning to Lookster to begin another search.

The Lookster Toolbar allows you to search from multiple search engines including Google, Yahoo, AltaVista, MSN, and DMOZ. You can also launch external applications; block pop-up ads and highlight your search terms as they appear on the page.
