I was thinking more about this last night, and, while I would not oppose 
the changes, I am not sure that there is any real advantage to 
duplicating Googlebar search features.   Apart from bookmarks, I use the 
Yahoo! toolbar for access to the many Yahoo! portal features, and the 
Googlebar for targeted and specialize searches.

IOW, I do not see a competition between the toobars, but a 
complementarity, just as with the providers.  As I see them, Google is a 
search service,  but Yahoo! is a portal that happens to include a search 
function.
